Polymethylsilsesquioxanes through base-catalyzed redistribution of oligomethylhydridosiloxanes

Conference ·
OSTI ID:753452

There has been an increasing amount of interest in silsesquioxanes and polysilsesquioxanes. They have been used as models for silica surfaces and have been shown to have great potential for several industrial applications. Typical synthesis of polysilsesquioxanes involves the hydrolysis of organotricholorosilanes and/or organotrialkoxysilanes in the presence of acid or base catalysts, usually in the presence of organic solvents.
