  • Siloxanes and methods of synthesis thereof using metallic nanoparticle catalysts
    Patent number: 7244799
    Abstract: Novel siloxanes are provided in the form of nanoscale bodies having discrete, observable structures, such as elongated wires, tubes, filaments and coils, having a length of at least about 100 nm and a diameter of from about 2-200 nm. The siloxanes are synthesized by reacting a substituted silane in a solvent system comprising water and a polar organic solvent, and in the presence of a metallic nanoparticle catalyst such as gold.
