Studies on the synthesis and thermal properties of alkoxysilane-terminated organosilicone dendrimers

Silicone core dendrimers bearing terminaldialkoxy andtrialkoxy silane groups were prepared in a three-step synthesis. Initially, the Si-H terminated multifunctional silicone dendrimer, i.e. tetrakis(dimethylsiloxy)silane, was prepared by the reaction of tetraethoxysilane and dimethylethoxysilane. Tetrakis(dimethylsiloxy)silane on reaction with allylglycidylether in the presence of Speier's catalystunderpressure (100 psi) yieldedepoxy- terminateddendrimerin veryhigh yield (95%).Theepoxy-terminated dendrimer was reacted with aminopropylalkoxysilanes to yield the next-generation dendrimer bearing dialkoxy and trialkoxy silane groups. The dendrimers were characterized by the usual physico-chemical techniques, i.e. elemental analysis, FT-IR, 1H, 13C and 29Si NMR. Thermal studies (Thermogravimetric analysis and Thermomechanical analysis) of the alkoxy terminated dendrimers and its cured products were also carried out. Copyright
