M. Cazacu et al., Ring-opening anionic heterogeneous copolymerization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane with 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-trivinylcyclotrisiloxane, REV RO CHIM, 44(1), 1999, pp. 77-82
A strongly basic macroporous anionite was used as catalyst for the copolyme
rization of hexamethylcyclotrisiloxane (D-3) with 1,3,5-trimethyl-1,3,5-tri
vinylcyclotrisiloxane (V-3). The reaction occurred under kinetical control
with practical total yields. Reactivity ratios of the two comonomers and mi
crostructure parameters of the obtained copolymers were calculated.
