High Temperature Elastomers: Thermo-Oxidative Behavior of a Systematic Series of Linear Poly(carborane-siloxane)s Containing Icosohedral-CB10H10C- Cages

Abstract

A study of oxidative instability versus molecular structure for a systematic series of well defined linear poly(carborane-siloxane)s is reported. These polymers form the backbone components of the most recently developed high temperature elastomers. Thermomechanical spectra in air (about 1 cps) from 130C to 625C to 130C at 3.6C/min, thermogravimetric data from 25C to 800C in air (3.6C/min) and differential thermal data from 25C to about 450C in air (15C/min) are presented. Thermo-oxidative stability is discussed in terms of structure and broad categories of behavior are defined.
