BACKGROUND Polysiloxanes have chains constructed of alternately
arranged silicon and oxygen atoms with organic groups attached to
the silicon atoms. This structure gives them a unique combination
of properties that hold great interest for a host of practical
applications. Although they have been known and manufactured for
many years, their applications continue to expand rapidly and this
boosts progress in the generation of new and modified
polysiloxanes. Polysiloxanes constitute the oldf'"' known class of
silicon-based polymers and the broadest one when viewed in terms of
the variety of structures differing in topology and the
constitution of organic substituents. There are also many and
various types of siloxane copolymers, some of purely siloxane
structure and others of siloxane-organic composition. There is no
doubt that polysiloxanes are the most technologically important
silicon-based polymers. The broad class of model materials known as
silicones is based on polysiloxanes. They are also the best known,
as most research in the area of silicon polymers has for many years
been directed towards the synthesis of new polysiloxanes, to
understanding their properties and to extending their applications.
