Organosilicon material is widely used because of its dual structure. Dimethyldichlorosilane is the largest and most versatile of organic silicon monomer. In this article, MP2/6-311 ++G (3df, 2pd) basis set has been used to calculate the reaction mechanism of disproportionation for producing dimethyldichlorosilane by catalysts AlCl3/ZSM-5 (3T, 4T, 6T). The results show that the activation energies (3T, 4T, 6T) of the rate- determining step of the main reaction are: 100.3, 110.6 and 113.1kJmol−1, respectively. The structure analysis, activation energy analysis and LOL analysis for different catalysts all show that the catalytic effect of 4T cluster AlCl3/ZSM-5 is the best. Keywords.

Newkome ______________________________ ______________________________ Committee Member Date Dr. George G. Chase ______________________________ Committee Member Dr. Chrys Wesdemiotis ii ABSTRACT Siloxanes have been extensively used as additives to modulate surface properties such as surface tension, hydrophobicity/hydrophobicity, and adhesion, etc. Although, polydimethyl -siloxane and polydiphenylsiloxane are the most commonly used siloxanes, the properties are at extremes in terms of glass transition temperature and flexibility. It is proposed that the ability to control the properties in between the these extremes can be provided by cycloaliphatic substitutions at the siloxane backbone. It is expected that this substitution might work due to the intermediate backbone rigidity. In order to achieve the above objectives, a synthetic route was developed to prepare cycloaliphatic (cyclopentane and cyclohexane) silane monomers followed by subsequent polymerization and functionalizations to obtain glycidyl epoxy, aliphatic amine and methacrylate telechelic siloxanes. The siloxanes were either thermally or UV- cured depending on end functionalizations. Chemical characterization of monomers, oligomers and polymers were performed using 1H, 13C, 29Si-NMR, FT-IR and GPC.

PDMS-magnetite complexes were characterized using transmission electron microscopy, elemental analysis, and vibrating sample magnetometry. PDMS-magnetite complexes containing up to 67 wt% magnetite with magnetizations of ~52 emu gram-1 were prepared. The magnetite particles were 7.4 ± 1.7 nm in diameter.

So far as oligosiloxanes, the topic is especially focused on sila- functional siloxanes as the building block for the synthesis of ladder or cube oligosiloxanes, while the another is the polysiloxanes derived from silicic acid and trimethoxysilanes RSi(OMe)3 which are able to form fibers and flexible free- standing films. The review also refers to the new routes for the selective synthesis of sila-functional oligosiloxanes in addition to the reaction control based on the relative reactivity of sila-functional groups. Finally, the application of polysiloxanes as the precursors to ceramics, high performance coatings, and interlayer low dielectric materials are described. q 2003 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.

  • High-Purity Silicon
    PROCESS ECONOMICS PROGRAM SRI INTERNATIONAL Menlo Park, California 94029 Abstract Process Economics Program Report No. 184 HIGH-PURITY SILICON (October 1988) This report summarizes the technology and economics of producing high-purity silicon (‘polysilicon”) suitable for making single-crystal silicon for semiconductors or photovoltaic cells. In the commercial processes, the raw material-metallurgical-grade silicon--is con- verted to trichlorosllane (TCS) , which is purified and then decomposed to high-purity silicon. In the Siemens process, TCS is made by reacting metallurgical-grade silicon with hy- drogen and SiCW in a two-stage vapor-phase reaction in a fluidized bed. The TCS is purified by distillation and is decomposed at 1125OC in the presence of hydrogen. Purified silicon is deposited on heated filaments in a bell-jar reactor. In an alternative process, practiced commercially by Union Carbide, TCS is converted to sllane (SiHJ by disproportionatlon. Chlorosilanes are recycled, and purified silane is de- composed at 805OC. Purified silicon Is deposited on heated filaments in a bell-jar reactor. According to our analysis, this is a more expensive process. Other processes for making high-purity silicon are now under development. Some of them use other intermediates such as SiF, or SiBr,. PEP’85 RHSrnM Report No. 184 HIGH-PURITY SILICON by ROBERT H.
