以八甲基环四硅氧烷(D4)、苯基三(二甲基硅氧烷基)硅烷(PTDMS,俗称三氢封头剂)或四(二甲基硅氧基)硅烷(TDMS,俗称四氢封头剂)为原料,通过开环聚合法合成了三端氢基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—H3)和四端氢基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—H4);再将其与甲基丙烯酸叔丁酯(t—BMA)在氯铂酸-四氢呋喃(THF)溶液催化下通过硅氢加成反应得到三端酯基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—t—BMA,)和四端酯基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—t-BMA。);最后在浓硫酸催化下水解制得三端羧基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—COOH,)和四端羧基聚硅氧烷(PDMS—COOH4)。采用Fr—IR、^1H NMR和GPC对各阶段产物的结构和摩尔质量及其分布进行表征。结果表明,通过开环聚合、硅氢加成、酸性水解三步反应能够获得结构清晰、摩尔质量可控的多臂端羧基聚硅氧烷,且叔丁酯基聚硅氧烷酸性水解反应效率高,后处理简单,对硅氧烷主链的影响较小。
With oetamethyleyclotetrasiloxane ( D4 ) , tris (dimethylsiloxy) phenylsilane (PTDMS) or tetrakis (dimethylsiloxy) -silane (TDMS) as raw materials, hydrogen terminated polydimethylsilox- anes ( PDMS-Hx, x = 3,4) were synthesized via ring-opening polymerization. Then tert-butyl methacry- late (t-BMA) was grafted to PDMS-Hx via hydrosilylation to prepare ester terminated polydimethylsilox- anes (PDMS-t-BMAx, x = 3,4) with H2PtC16 as catalyst, and the multi-branched carboxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes (PDMS-COOHx, x = 3,4) were prepared by subsequent hydrolysis reaction under acid. The structures and molecular weights of the products were characterized by FT-IR, ^1H NMR and GPC. Results show that multi-branched earboxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxanes with certain structures and molecular weights can be synthesized under control via a three-step procedure : ring-opening polymeri- zation, hydrosilylation reaction and acid hydrolysis reaction. The acid hydrolysis of polydimethylsiloxanes with a tertiary-butyl ester group has advantages of high efficiency, simple after-treatment and less influence on siloxane backbone.
