Abstract: Siloxane compounds formed by the reaction of a hydridosiloxane with vinylsiloxane are employed in a wide variety of uses, e.g., coatings for optical fibers and flexible layers for touch screen cathode ray tubes. These siloxane materials are substantially improved through treatment with a lower alkene such as ethylene to prevent hydrogen evolution and undesirable crosslinking.
