Preparation and Characterization of Hyperbranched Silicone Oil by Hydrosilylation Reaction
Hyperbranched silicone oil was prepared using low-polyhydrosiloxane and vinyl terminated methylphenyl silicone oil as the raw materials through hydrosilylation reaction. The structures and properties of hyperbranched silicone oil were characterized through 1H NMR, TG and dynamic viscosity. The influence on synthesis of hyperbranched silicone oil was discussed, which was caused by ratio of different raw materials. When molar ratio of Si-H bond and Si-Vi bond of raw materials was 3.5:1 (mol), the reaction degree of hyperbranched silicone oils double bond was as high as 80%. At room temperature and 100°C, comparing the dynamic viscosity of hyperbranched silicone oil and straight chain silicone oil, we found that viscosity decrease rate of hyperbranched silicone oil was obviously lower. TG curve of hyperbranched silicone oil and straight chain silicone oil also certified that the hyperbranched silicone oil has higher thermal stability than the straight chain phenyl silicone oil. Therefore hyperbranched silicone oil is more suitable for the preparation of high-performance elastic clay than straight chain silicone oil.
