  • Patent number: 6258891
    Abstract: This invention is a solventless process for anionically polymerizing polysiloxane polymers. No volatile hydrocarbon solvent is used. A cyclic siloxane monomer and any comonomer are introduced into a molten polymer phase of a low molecular weight polymer that has a melting point within the polymerization temperature range for the cyclic siloxanes and the comonomer, for example, 30 to 80° C. which is the melting point range for polyethylene wax which is preferred. A non-volatile hydrocarbon oil with a melting point in this range may also be used, especially if a final polymer containing oil is desired. The cyclic siloxane monomer is anionically polymerized in the molten polymer phase or the oil at 30 to 150° C. Ethylene and styrene are preferred comonomers. The low molecular polymer or non-volatile oil is not separated from the polysiloxane after termination of the polymerization.

  • Patent number: 5939478
    Abstract: The viscosity of a solvent is modified by thickening the solvent with a silicone latex. A silicone latex having a plurality of crosslinked polysiloxane particles is first prepared by mixing the siloxane polymer, a surfactant, and water; emulsifying the mixture to a gel phase; diluting the emulsion with water; adding a cure package (i.e., a catalyst, a crosslinker, or both, or a self catalytic crosslinker); and then without removing the water from the latex and after the particles of siloxane polymer in the latex have been cured, mixing the latex and solvent to thicken the solvent, forming viscous liquids, gels, and pastes. Water in the latex thickened solvent composition can be stabilized by adding a silicone polyether during mixing of the latex and the solvent.
