Abstract
A new cross-linkable naphthalene-cyclocarbosiloxane was synthesised starting from bis[1,4-bis(methylhydrosiloxanyl)-dihydronaphthalene] via catalytic addition of the Si–H reactive groups to the unsaturated bond of triethoxyvinylsilane. Hyperbranched polycyclocarbosiloxane networks were formed by condensation of the alcoxyl groups in the presence of dibutyltin dilaurate as catalyst. The cross-linking process was studied in order to obtain information concerning the values of the reaction parameters and to determine the position of the gelation point relative to conversion. GPC analysis, IR, and 1 H-NMR spectral analysis techniques were used to investigate the chemical structures of the intermediates and of the product.
