Abstract
Abstract Novel processes for preparing hydridosiloxane and organohydridosiloxane resins are disclosed. The processes of the invention broadly provide for the steps of contacting a silane monomer with a phase transfer catalyst in the presence of a reaction mixture that includes a nonpolar, e.g., hydrocarbon, solvent, and a polar solvent, e.g., alcohol and water. The process is conducted under conditions effective to catalytically convert said silane monomer into hydridosiloxane and organohydridosiloxane resins. Recovery of the products is advantageously aided by the ease of separating the phase transfer catalyst from the dual phase reaction mixture by separating the immiscible polar solvent carrying the catalyst from the nonpolar solvent that carries the product. Hydridosiloxane and organohydridosiloxane resins produced by the processes of the invention are also provided.
