Abstract

The copolymerization of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and methylhydrogensiloxane oligomers was carried out using a styrene-divinylbenzene copolymer with sulphonic groups as catalyst (VIONIT CS-34C). The conversion versus time function was studied at different temperatures. It was found a first order reaction towards monomers.

Keywords: copolymers; methylhydrogensiloxane oligomers; cyclosiloxanes; conversion; reaction order
