Branched organosilicon compound, method of preparing same, and compositions comprising same

Abstract

A branched organosilicon compound is provided which has the general formula (R1)3Si—X—NR2—X1—NR22- In the formula: each R1 is selected from R and —OSi(R4)3, with the proviso that at least one R1 is —OSi(R4)3; each R4 is selected from R, —OSi(R5)3, and —[OSiR2]mOSiR3; each R1 is selected from R, —OSi(R6)3, and —[OSiR2]mOSiR3; each R6 is selected from R and —[OSiR2]mOSiR3; with the proviso that at least one of R4, R1 and R6 is —[OSiR2]mOSiR3; 0<m≤100. Each R is independently a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group, e.g. a methyl group. Each of X and X1 is an independently selected divalent linking group, e.g. a divalent hydrocarbon linking group. Each R2 independently comprises a substituted or unsubstituted hydrocarbyl group, a polyether group, or H. At least one R2 comprises a polyether group. A method of preparing the branched organosilicon compound and a composition comprising the branched organosilicon compound are also provided.
