Abstract: The invention relates to modified poly(organo-organosiloxanes) with comb and/or block structures, which consist of a substantially linear diorganopolysiloxane base with organic polymers based on acrylates arranged in terminal positions and/or along the chain. These block polymers can be prepared by a two-step process. In a first process step, alkenyl trialkylsilylacetates are added to polyorgano-H-siloxanes in the presence of, for example, platinum catalysts and in a second process step, polar compounds, such as acrylates or methacrylates are graft copolymerized onto the polyorganosiloxanes modified with trialkylsilylacetoxyalkyl groups obtained above, in the presence of, for example, nucleophilic catalysts according to the principle of the group-transfer method.

Abstract: A novel, reformed polysilazane obtained by reacting a polysilazane with a compound selected from ammonia, primary and secondary amines, hydrazine and mono-, di- and tri-substituted hydrazines to cross-link the polysilazane with the compound serving as a cross-linking agent or to link the compound to the polysilazane.
