Decomposition of Di-tert-butyl Peroxide in Siloxane:  An Approach of the Free Radical Cross-Linking of Silicones

Abstract: The decomposition of di-tert-butyl peroxide (TBP) in hexamethyldisiloxane (SiH), in the presence and the absence of pentamethylvinyldisiloxane (Vi), was studied with different relative ratios of reactants. The identification of the numerous products generated during these decompositions was performed, allowing to suggest free radical and carbene reactions to account for their formation. The mechanisms advanced in the literature, to explain the cross-linking of silicones, were compared to the ones proposed for … Show more

“…The t-butoxyl radicals appeared rapidly under the irradiation of UV light. But because of their instability, t-butoxyl radicals decomposed to form methyl radicals and acetone immediately [9,11] . When NO x existed, after a series of reactions, products of CH 3 OOH, CH 3 ONO 2 , CH 3 OONO 2 , HCHO were finally formed [4] .…”

“…DTBP is a strong source of radicals, in which the theoretical active oxygen content is 10.9%. DTBP is a compound that will decompose to generate tert-butoxyl radicals ((CH 3 ) 3 CO·) by the way of thermal decomposition [7][8][9] or photolysis [10][11][12][13] . It has been reported that the electronic structures of tert-butoxyl radicals generated by these two methods are identical [11] .…”
