Abstract
Oligosiloxanes of the formula I ##STR1## where R.sup.1 is a C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and n is from 2 to 50, are chiefly used for fabricating fiber-reinforced composite and ceramic materials.
Claims12
A thermoplastic composition which comprises:
- an oligosiloxane of the formula ##STR4## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and n is from 2 to 50, and a polymer selected from the group consisting of polyamides, polyphenylene sulfones, polyphenylene ether sulfones, aromatic polyether imides, polyamide imides and aromatic polyether ketones.
A thermoplastic composition obtained by polymerizing an oligosiloxane of the formula ##STR5## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and n is from 2 to 50 in the presence of a thermoplastic material and thereafter adding to the composition an adhesion promoter selected from the group consisting of methyltriethoxysilane, propyltriethoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, .gamma.-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, .gamma.-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, .gamma.-cyanopropyltriethoxysilane and N,N-dimethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane.
A thermoplastic composition obtained by (a) reacting an oligomeric silicate ester of the formula II ##STR6## where R.sup.1 is an alkyl of 1-4 carbons and n from 2 to 50, with an adhesion promoter selected from the group consisting of methyltriethoxysilane, ethyltriethoxysilane, propyltrithoxysilane, phenyltriethoxysilane, .gamma.-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane, .gamma.-aminopropyltriethoxysilane, .gamma.-cyanopropyltriethoxysilane and N,N-dimethylaminopropyltriethoxysilane and thereafter reacting the product of step (a) with acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of mineral acids, titanium alkoxides, aluminum alkoxides and silicon alkoxides to from reaction product (b) and subsequently polymerizing reaction product (b) in the presence of thermoplastic materials.
A process for preparing oligosiloxanes of the formula I ##STR7## where R.sup.1 is C.sub.1 -C.sub.4 -alkyl and n is from 2 to 50, which comprises:
- reacting a corresponding oligomeric silicate ester of the formula II ##STR8## with acetic anhydride in the presence of a catalyst selected from the group consisting of mineral acids, titanium alkoxides, aluminum alkoxides and silicon tetrachloride.
