Silicone polymer

A polymer of the formula:

• where R1-R12 are independently chosen from a hydrogen, a C1-C10 monovalent hydrocarbon group optionally containing a hetero atom, a C6-C20 monovalent aromatic group, and a C4 to C30 monovalent saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl group optionally containing a hetero atom, siloxy group containing 1-20 silicon atoms, —OH, —NH2, or —COOH;
• Z1 and Z2 are independently chosen from a C1-C10 hydrocarbon group optionally containing heteroatom, —OH, —NH2, —COOH, or R16-A-R17— where A is chosen from a group comprising of a unsaturated cyclic group chosen from an aromatic group, a functionalized aromatic group, a fused aromatic group optionally containing a heteroatom, a unsaturated alicyclic group, a unsaturated heterocyclic group, or a combination of two or more thereof;
• R16 and R17 are independently chosen from a nil, C1-C10 hydrocarbon group, a C6-C20 aromatic group and a C4 to C30 saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl group, wherein when one of Z1 or Z2 is R16-A-R17- then both Z1 and Z2 will not be R16-A-R17—;
• Z3 is chosen from —R19-A-R19— where A is chosen from
• and R19 is chosen from a C2-C10 hydrocarbon group, a C6-C20 aromatic group, and a C4 to C30 saturated or unsaturated cycloalkyl group;
• and
• m is 1-100;
• x is 0-200;
• and y is 0-200, wherein x+y≥1;
• wherein the polymer is thermally conductive.
