Using the hydrosilylation reaction between 1,4-bis(dimethylsilyl)dihydronap
hthalene and alpha,omega -divinyl-divinyl-dimethylsiloxanes with hexachloro
platinic acid as catalyst, new and important segmented prepolymers with rea
ctive end groups were obtained. Ethylene bridges between hard naphthalene a
nd soft siloxane segments were formed. The reaction was monitored by IR spe
ctrometry These compounds were characterized by H-1-NMR, C-13-NMR and GPC a
nalyses.
