Silarylene-siloxane groups

Silarylene-Siloxane Polymers Containing Thermally Crosslinkable or Vulcanizable Diacetylene Groups... 

In the case of aU of the developed hybrid silarylene-siloxane and carboranylenesiloxane polymers, an evaluation of the nature of different phases containing aromatic or carborane groups will be illuminating to understand what contribution does each distinct phase has on the elasticity and other material properties of the generated networks. Other in-depth mechanical studies are also in order to better evaluate the high temperature elasticity of the materials. 

Silarylene Polymers Containing m-Xvlvlene Units. A majority of the silarylene type siloxane polymers which have been worked on to date contain silicon-phenyl bonds. After an extensive literature search, only one type of polymer was found which contained an arylene group that does not have silphenylene bonds in the polymer backbone. The work, done mainly by Rosenberg and Choe 15-17 of the Air Force Materials Laboratory, is based on polymers which have a general structure as shown below, referred to as poly(m-xylylene-siloxanylenes), (9).
