  • Silsesquioxane resin with high strength and fracture toughness and method for the preparation thereof
    Patent number: 6310146
    Abstract: A cured silsesquioxane resin and method for its preparation are disclosed. By using a silyl-terminated hydrocarbon in the hydrosilylation reaction curable composition used to prepare the cured silsesquioxane resin, the cured silsesquioxane resin has improved strength and toughness without significant loss of modulus. A typical silyl-terminated hydrocarbon useful in this invention is silphenylene.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: July 1, 1999
    Date of Patent: October 30, 2001
    Assignees: Dow Corning Corporation, Massachusetts Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Dimitris Elias Katsoulis, Zhongtao Li, Frederick Jerome McGarry, Bihn Thanh Nguyen, Bizhong Zhu
  • Rubber-modified rigid silicone resins and composites produced therefrom
    Patent number: 6046283
    Abstract: Novel rubber-modified rigid silicone resins are disclosed. The novel resins are the copolymerized reaction product of (A) an organosilicon composition selected from the group consisting (I) an organosilicone resin, (II) hydrolyzable precursors of (I), and an hydrolyzate of (II), (B1) a first silicone rubber having a nonfunctional linear chain length between functional groups from 6 to 100 and (B2) a second silicone ruberr having terminal functional groups and a degree of polymerization from about 200 to 1,000. The novel rubber-modified rigid silicone resins of the invention show remarkably high fracture toughness, K.sub.Ic, and critical strain energy release rate G.sub.Ic.

  • Method of making rubber-modified rigid silicone resins and composites produced therefrom
    Patent number: 5830950
    Abstract: Novel rubber-modified rigid silicone resins a novel method of making the same are disclosed. The resins are the copolymerized reaction product of (A) an organosilicon composition selected from the group consisting (I) an organosilicone resin, (II) hydrolyzable precursors of (I), and an hydrolyzate of (II) and (B) an silicone rubber. In the method of the invention, the copolymerization step is carried out in an organic solvent, preferably utilizing a relatively weak condensation catalyst. Thereafter, the solution is devolatilized and the composition cured by heating.
