REPORT OF INVESTIGATIONS ON SYNTHESIS AND THERMAL RESISTANCE OF POLYMERS CONTAINING Si-O AND Zr-O BONDS
Abstract
Techniques were developed for the synthesis of novel semi-inorganic macromolecular products for use by the Navy in applications requiring polymeric materials having high resistance to pyrolytic attack. This work included studies involving the synthesis of substances containing Si-O and Zr-O linkages. In general, this phase of the investigations indicated the feasibility of synthesizing such copolymers by condensation reactions of diphenylsilanediol and tetrabutoxy zircane. Experiments were designed to prepare new intermediate products for use in the synthesis of novel copolymers containing main chains of Si-O and Zr-O linkages with phenyl and phenoxy pendant groups, respectively. Thermogravimetric analyses indicate that the material containing 55.6% Zr is more thermally resistant than the product having 43.2% Zr.
