SYNTHESIS OF CYCLOALIPHATIC SUBSTITUTED SILANE MONOMERS AND POLYSILOXANES FOR PHOTO-CURING

摘要

The present invention generally relates to compositions including linear cycloaliphatic siloxane polymers, and the cyclic cycloaliphatic siloxane oligomers from which they are made. The present invention also generally relates to methods for making cycloaliphatic siloxane polymers, and the cyclic cycloaliphatic siloxane oligomers from which they are made. Some embodiments relate to cationic polymerization of methyl, cyclopentyl, and/or cyclohexyl substituted polysiloxanes. In some embodiments the cationic polymerization is a cationic ring-opening polymerization.
