SYNTHESIS OF ELASTOMERS CONTAINING SI-N BONDS IN THE MAIN CHAIN.
Abstract
Methods were sought for the synthesis of thermally and hydrolytically stable elastomers based on chains containing silicon atoms bonded directly to nitrogen. Classes of silazane polymers studied include condensed bis(aminosilyl)diazasilacyclopentanes, the products of the reaction of N-substituted cyclosilazanes and cyclosiloxazanes with organic diols, and polymers that can be derived from silylpiperazines, p-phenylenebis-(alkylaminosilanes), and N-silylated-cyclosilazanes. High molecular weight condensation products of organic diols and N-substituted cyclosilazanes and siloxazanes with reasonably good hydrolytic stability and heat stability were obtained, but a satisfactory crosslinking procedure could not be fond. Methods of synthesis and characterization of monomers are described, and structural modifications necessary to improve the hydrolytic stability of the silazane linkage are defined. (Author)
