An Introduction to the CHEMISTRY of the SILICONES By EUGENE G.
ROCHOW. PREFACE: The organic compounds of silicon, which have been
the subject of many scholarly researches during the past 80 years,
at last show promise of emerging from the laboratory and finding a
place in industry. An understanding of the behavior of
organosilicon materials is necessary to their intelligent use and,
inasmuch as the chemistry of these substances ordinarily is not
treated in our textbooks, it is possible that a compact yet
comprehensive survey of our present knowledge in this field would
be of service to chemists, engineers, and industrial designers.
This volume has just such a purpose. The first few chapters review
the silanes and their derivatives in some detail, in order to
provide an understanding of the fundamental chemistry of the
nonsilicate com pounds of silicon. The later chapters emphasize the
silicone polymers which have achieved commercial importance and
deal with the methods for their preparation, their chemical and
physical properties, and their possible usas. The processes
available for large-scale production are treated separately, and a
review of methods of analysis is included. In order not to burden
the text with definitions and explanations of nomenclature which
might already be familiar to some readers, an extensive glossary of
terms is appended. An exhaustive review of the literature on
organic compounds of sili con cannot very well be included in a
volume intended for the non specialist. However, many references
are provided, and tables of most of the known compounds and their
properties are included in the appropriate chapters. The reader
will find comprehensive reviews ofpublications in Friends Textbook
of Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 11, Part 2 Krause and von Grossed
Chemie der Metallorgamschen Ver bindungen, Dolgows Chemistry of the
Silica-Organic Compounds, and Bygdens Silizium als Vertreter des
Kohlenstoffs organischen Verbindun gen. A more recent and more
complete compilation of the literature on organic compounds of
silicon would be welcomed by every investigator in the field. Since
this work presents a point of view rather than an uncritical
compilation of published fact, the author must assume entire
responsi bility for the opinions expressed. However, he is greatly
indebted to his coworkers iu the research laboratory of the General
Electriq Company for helpful advice and criticisms. In a larger
sense this work is the result of many years of common endeavor in a
most interesting field of research. Contents include: 1. THE SIMPLE
