Abstract
TEA CO2 laser induced liquid-phase thermolysis of a series of [(C6H5)(n)H3- nSi](2)O (n = 1,2), [(C6H5)(CH3)HSi](2)O disiloxanes and [(CH3)(2)SiO](3) i n the presence of suspended acidic carbon soot results in the formation of oligomeric siloxanes and is judged to involve assistance of acidic and oxyg enated carbon surface sites. The same reaction in the presence of suspended neutral graphite yields volatile hydrocarbons and is similar to homogeneou s decomposition of siloxanes in the gas phase.
