Synthesis and characterization of in-chain silyl-hydride functional SBR and self-crosslinking elastomer

Functional in-chain silyl-hydride (Si-H) SBR copolymers of 4-vinyiphenyldimethylsilanol (VPDMS) and butadiene were synthesized by living anionic polymerization, in which active group Si-H was not lost and its content was controllable. Corresponding self-c

Synthesis and characterization of novel liquid crystalline polystyrene

The paper introduces a simple method to synthesize novel liquid crystalline polystyrene (LC-PS) containing a mesogenic unit at a side chain by hydrosilylation through poly[(4-vinylphenyl)dimethylsilanol] (PVPDMS) and liquid crystal monomer cholesteryl 4-[4-(undec-10-enoyloxy)benzoyloxy]-phenyladipate (M). The LC-PS had high purity, high molecular weight, narrow distribution, good thermal stability, and typical thermotropic liquid crystallinity (SA phase), as shown by 1HNMR analyses, size exclusion chromatography (SEC) thermogravimetry analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), polarizing optical microscopy (POM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The glass-transition temperature (Tg) of LCPS was much lower than that of PVPDMS, while the clearing point (Ti) of LC-PS significantly increased compared with M.

Selective Manganese-Catalyzed Oxidation of Hydrosilanes to Silanols under Neutral Reaction Conditions

The first manganese-catalyzed oxidation of organosilanes to silanols with H2O2 under neutral reaction conditions has been accomplished. A variety of organosilanes with alkyl, aryl, alknyl, and heterocyclic substituents were tolerated, as well as sterically hindered organosilanes. The oxidation appears to proceed by a concerted process involving a manganese hydroperoxide species. Featuring mild reaction conditions, fast oxidation, and no waste byproducts, the protocol allows a low-cost, eco-benign synthesis of both silanols and silanediols.
