Abstract
Abstract A process for the preparation of novel polysiloxazane compositions which comprises reacting at least one halosilane having the formula (R 1 ) a (R 2 ) b Si(Y) 4- (a+b) with at least one hydrazine having the formula NHR 3 -NHR 4 and water, wherein R 1 and R 2 are a hydrogen atom or a methyl, ethyl, vinyl or phenyl radical; R 3 and R 4 are hydrogen atoms, Y is a halogen atom and (a+b) is an integer between 0 and 3 and preferably 2. Polysiloxazane polymer compositions formed with polysiloxazanes prepared by the process described above comprise units of formula: ##STR1## combined with units of formula: ##STR2## and, if desired, units of formula: ##STR3## and, if desired, with units of formula: ##STR4## wherein radicals R 1 , R 2 , R 3 and R 4 , which may be identical or different, may denote a hydrogen atom, a saturated or unsaturated aliphatic hydrocarbon radical or a mono- or polycyclic aryl, alkylaryl or arylalkyl radical, and wherein these radicals have a total molecular mass greater than 350.
