Silicon based polymer systems

There is no doubt that the supply of relatively low cost dimethyldichlorosilane has been key to the rapid growth of the silicone industry, but it is also apparent that the availability of monomers has focused attention on systems primarily based on polydimethylsiloxane. Many would argue that this is of no concern because this is obviously the material of choice as shown by the very rapid growth in silicone science and technology. Others, who see a materials science based on silicon that potentially parallels that based on carbon, observe the profusion of silicon monomers that have been made and wonder if there are other silicon based polymer systems of equal importance to polydimethylsiloxane which now need to be developed and commercialized to maintain rapid growth in this Industry. [Pg.383]

The dimensional hierarchy of silicon-based polymers is summarized in Figure 6. The right circle corresponds to the saturated systems already discussed. The left circle corresponds to the unsaturated systems. The electronic properties of silicon-based polymers vary from conducting (metallic) and semiconducting to insulating. This figure shows that silicon atoms can form many kinds of materials with various properties. However, the study of silicon-based materials has been concentrated in a very small area of this figure. [Pg.538]

Silicon-based polymers form a dimensional hierarchy from disilanes, to crystal silicon, and through polysilanes, ladder polymers, siloxenes, polysilane alloys, clusters, and amorphous silicons and include unsaturated systems, such as polysilenes, hexasilabenzenes, and so on. Their properties depend basically on the network dimensions and can vary from conducting (metallic) and semiconducting to insulating. [Pg.538]

There are several factors which have influence on the mist formation. One can think of the diameter and setting of the rollers of the application system, the type of the rollers, etc. However, the most important factors are the speed of the machine and hence the speed of the rollers and the viscosity of the silicone-based polymer. [Pg.706]

For a polymer to be effective in a therapeutic encapsulation system, it must meet two criteria (1) the polymer must be hydrolytically or enzymatically labile, and (2) the resulting hydrolysis by-products must be biocompatible. Many natural polymers are excellent choices for encapsulation polymers, especially the natural polysaccharides discussed in Chapter 8. Synthetic polymers having an all-carbon backbone are generally not hydrolytically labile and are generally not employed as encapsulating polymers, although one does encounter the use of some methacrylate and silicone-based polymers in delivery systems. [Pg.278]

Foaming can often be a serious problem in production and processing of polymer dispersions and latices, and silicone-based control systems have been developed to counter this effect. A range of products is available, giving choice of an appropriate grade to achieve high antifoam efficiency and/or high compatibility with specific products. [Pg.228]

Cuadrado and co-workers have prepared a pol5uner with Fe—Fe bonds in its structure (19) via reaction of a polysiloxane with Fe(CO)5 (44). The insoluble nature of this pol5uner indicated that cross-linking between polysiloxane chains occurred upon formation of the organoiron polymer. Silicon polymers containing Co—Co bonds (20) have been prepared via the reaction of Co2(CO)s with the triple bonds of a silicon based polymer (45). Mixed metal systems were also described in which complexes containing arenes coordinated to chromium tricarbonyl were reacted with Mo2Cp2(CO)e or Co2(CO)s. [Pg.4520]

Silicones find practical application in different membrane unit operations for treating gaseous and liquid mixtures. This is due to their solubility controlled transport, which allows the selective separation of organics from air or from water. Polymer blending, polymer grafting, addition of different solid fillers or ionic Hquids, are the most effective strategies for improving the stabihty as well as the selective transport of silicones. The industrial applications of silicone-based membrane systems present environmental benefits such as reduced waste and recovered/recycled valuable raw materials that are currently lost to fuel or to the flares. [Pg.318]

Peroxide initiators are equally effective, but often kinetically faster, than platinum-based crosslinking systems. The crosslinking of silicon-based polymers with organic peroxides is well-known, and in this section several examples will illustrate the translation of this technology to preceramic polymer systems. For many vinyl-substituted precursors, and polysilazanes in particular, free radical-based crosslinking is the cure chemistry of choice. [Pg.45]

Hydrosilation silicones or addition cure systems utilize a hydride functional crosslinker with a vinyl functional base polymer and a noble metal catalyst. While the cure can be initiated with UV [48,49], thermal cure versions dominate the commercial market [23,50]. In thermal cure systems, inhibitors are necessary for processing and anchorage additives are common. [Pg.544]

Addition cure silicones can be delivered from solvent, waterborne emulsions, or 100% solids systems. The solvent free versions employ base polymers of intermediate molecular weight to achieve processable viscosity. These base polymers can have reactive moieties in terminal and/or pendant positions. These lower molecular weight, more functional systems result in a tighter crosslink network which feels rubbery to the hand. Low amounts of high molecular weight additives are included in some formulations to provide a more slippery feel [51,52]. [Pg.544]

Silicone acrylates (Fig. 5) are again lower molecular weight base polymers that contain multiple functional groups. As in epoxy systems, the ratio of PDMS to functional material governs properties of release, anchorage, transfer, cure speed, etc. Radiation induced radical cure can be initiated with either exposure of photo initiators and sensitizers to UV light [22,46,71 ] or by electron beam irradiation of the sample. [Pg.546]
