Composite Materials with Improved Properties in Compression. Anionic Ring OpeningPolymerization of 2-Methyl-2-Silaindan. Characterization of the Polymer and Mechanism of Polymerization

摘要

While polymethylhydrosiloxanes are well known poly(carbonsilane)s which possessreactive Si-H bonds are much less common. The proposal by Yajima that poly((methylsilylene)-methylene) is an intermediate in the pyrolytic conversion of poly(dimethylsilane) fibers into silicon carbide fibers has stimulated considerable interest in such carbosilane polymers. Keywords: Ring opening polymerization, 2-Methyl-2-silaindan, Hydrosilane, Microstructure analysis. (jes)
