Description

The type or shape of the polymers produced in the course of hydrolysis of silicontetraethoxide Si(OC2H5)4 has been investigated. Four solutions in the Si(OC2H5)4-H2O-C2H5OH-HCl system were prepared. In those solutions the molar ratios of water to Si(OC2H5)4, r, were 1.0, 2.0, 5.0 and 20.0, respectively, while the ratio of HCl to the alkoxide was kept constant at 0.01. The polymerized products or siloxane polymers were trimethylsilylated and subjected to the measurements of number-average molecular weight Mn and intrinsic viscosity [η]. Based on the relation between Mn and [η], namely, [η]=KMna where K and a are constants, type of the siloxane polymer was discussed. The exponent a's for solutions with r's of 1.0 and 2.0 were 0.75 and 0.64, respectively, showing that linear polymers are produced in those solutions. The exponent a for the solution with r of 20.0 was 0.34, corresponding to the three-dimensional or spherical polymer. Intermediate value of a was obtained for the solution with r of 5.0. These results corresponded with the authors' previous assumption that the occurrence of spinnability in a Si(OC2H5)4 solution containing a small amount of water is closely related to the formation of linear polymers in the course of hydrolysis.
