Abstract
Abstract Functionalized diorganopolysiloxanes containing alkoxy endgroups, well adapted for the formulation of single-component cold-vulcanizable elastomer compositions therefrom, are prepared by reacting an α, ω-dihydroxydiorganopolysiloxane oil with a polyalkoxysilane in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of lithium hydroxide.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
184 words
A process for the preparation of a linear diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one alkoxy group bonded to a silicon atom at each polymer chain end, comprising reacting, in a functionalization reaction, at least one linear diorganopolysiloxane containing a hydroxyl group bonded to a silicon atom at each polymer chain end with at least one polyalkoxysilane of the formula: (R.sup.4).sub.c (R.sup.1).sub.a Si(OR.sup.2).sub.4-(a+c) ( 3) in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of lithium hydroxide, and wherein such polyalkoxysilane of formula (3), a is 0, 1, 1, or 2; c is 0, 1, or 2; a+c is 0, 1 or 2; R 1 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic, substituted or unsubstituted, C 1 -C 13 monovalent hydrocarbon radical; the radicals R 2 , which may be identical or different, are each an aliphatic radical having from 1 to 8 carbon atoms or an aralkyl radical having from 7 to 13 carbon atoms; and R 4 is an aliphatic, cycloaliphatic or aromatic, substituted or unsubstituted C 1 -C 13 monovalent hydrocarbon radical, with the proviso that R 4 may be identical to R 1 .
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
