Preparation of Organosiloxane Polymers

Abstract

A method of making a polysiloxane containing polymer is described. The method comprises the steps of the polycondensation of a) 100 parts by weight of oligomers comprising non-cyclic siloxane containing oligomers having at least two condensable groups per molecule alone or in a mixture with one or organic oligomers having at least two condensable groups per molecule in the presence of: b) at least 2 parts by weight per 100 parts of (a) of one or more condensation catalysts comprising a Bronsted acid or a Lewis acid c) at least 15 parts by weight per 100 parts of (a) of one or more liquefied gases or a supercritical fluid therefrom. Subsequent to the reaction completion the polysiloxane containing polymer is recovered by expansion of the liquefied gas(es) or supercritical fluid (c).
