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.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 14
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 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 3
Dependent Claim 105 words
The process as defined by claim 1, said at least one linear diorganopolysiloxane containing at least one alkoxy group at each polymer chain end having the formula: ##STR14## and said at least one linear diorganopolysiloxane containing a hydroxyl group at each polymer chain end having the formula: ##STR15## wherein the radicals R, which may be identical or different, are each a monovalent hydrocarbon radical having from 1 to 10 carbon atoms, or halogen or cyano substituted such radicals; and n is a number such as to impart a viscosity of 25 to 1,000 mPa.s at 25° C. to the diorganopolysiloxanes of formulae (1) and (2).
