Silicone gels and composites from sheet and tube organofunctional siloxane polymers

摘要

Articles of manufacture, such as bulk composites, composite coatings, and composite films, can be prepared by exposing a gel to air, and allowing it to stand at room temperature to cure. The gel is obtained by mixing an organopolysiloxane sheet or tube polymer with an alkoxysilane. Organopolysiloxane sheet or tube polymers are obtained by contacting sheet or tube silicates with an organohalosilane and a solvent, and heating the mixture.
