Abstract

Fluorine-containing siloxane oligomers were made from bis(aminopropyl)tetramethyldisiloxane and trimethyltris(trifluoropropyl)cyclotrisiloxane. These materials were characterized by IR spectroscopy, size exclusion chromatography, nonaqueous colorimetric end group titration, and 1H-NMR. The end groups of one oligomer were chemically modified for an increased NMR signal for molecular weight determination. The cyclic trimeric siloxane starting material was additionally studied via 13C-, 29Si-, and 19F-NMR. Two forms of it were used: a white solid obtained at room temperature, and a colorless liquid isolated at low temperature. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. J Appl Polym Sci 78: 1315–1320, 2000
