Abstract: A method for hydrolyzing chlorosilanes having at least three chlorine atoms bonded to each silicon atom to form silicone resins. The method comprises adding at least one of hydridotrichlorosilane, tetrachlorosilane, or organotrichlorosilane to a two-phase mixture comprising a non-polar organic solvent, an aqueous phase comprising 0 to about 43 weight percent hydrochloric acid, and a surface active compound selected from the group consisting of alkylsulphonic acid hydrate, alkali metal salt of alkylsulphonic acid, arysulphonic acid hydrate, and alkali metal salt of arylsulphonic acid.

Abstract: Soluble silicone resin compositions having good solution stability and a method for their preparation.

Abstract: A method for preparing an .alpha.,.omega.-silyl terminated branched polyalkenylenes and polyolefins is provided. The method involves:(I) reacting a mixture comprising(A) at least one branched acyclic diene, and(B) at least one alkenylsilane in the presence of an acid free metathesis catalyst system to produce an .alpha.,.omega.-silyl terminated branched polyalkenylene; or(I) reacting a mixture of(A) at least one cycloolefin, and(B) at least one alkenylsilane in the presence of an acid free metathesis catalyst system to produce an .alpha.,.omega.-silyl terminated branched polyalkenylene. The .alpha.,.omega.-silyl terminated branched polyalkenylene produced by these methods may be hydrogenated to produce an .alpha.,.omega.-silyl terminated branched polyolefin.
