Abstract
The present invention provides moisture curable network silicone polymers and compositions thereof, having improved resistance to automotive oil at high temperature. The network silicone polymers contain terminal moisture curable functional groups and a partially crosslinking structure that contains C—C—C linkage which separates the siloxane backbone from the moisture curable functional groups and prevent thermal decomposition of siloxane backbone.
