Description and Uses
Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane is used as a monomer in the production of silicone polymers and as an intermediate in the production of other organosilicon substances.Further it finds its application in electronics, textiles, personal care products and household care products.
Polydimethylsiloxane by the Polymerization of Octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane: To a resin flask equipped with a thermometer, stirrer, and reflux eondenser is added 1000 gm of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane. The siloxane is heated to 165°C, and then 0.14gm of a potassium hydroxide-isopropanol complex (neutral equivalent = 193.5) is added to give a Si : Κ ratio of 4470:1. In 25 min the stirrer begins to stall, and the polymer is now heated for 3(1/2) hr at 150°C to complete polymerization. The resulting polymer has an intrinsic viscosity of 1.5 dl/gm corresponding to a molecular weight of 804,600.
