Abstract:Polyborosiloxanes are used in a variety of fields due to their unique dynamic properties. Traditionally, cross-linked polyborosiloxanes are prepared by incorporating boric acid into siloxane prepolymers, a process that is timeconsuming, energy intensive, and challenging due to reagent immiscibility. Here, we report a versatile synthetic method to rapidly cure polyborosiloxane networks via hydrosilylation of chain end or backbone functionalized polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) derivatives with an inexpensive triviny… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
