Abstract

Abstract A method is provided for producing a branched polyorganosiloxane to use in improving properties of silicone oil fluid. The method eliminates the occurrence of by-products, such as hydrochloric acid, which easily decompose the branched polyorganosiloxane. This method of producing a branched polyorganosiloxane involves reacting a compound which has at least three silanol groups per molecule and which is soluble in an organic solvent with a linear polydiorganosiloxane having a polymerization degree of at least three and having only one chain end terminated with a group containing a nitrogen atom which is bonded to a silicon atom.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 9
Claim 1
Independent Claim 61 words
A method of making a branched polyorganosiloxane comprising: reacting a compound which has at least three silanol groups per molecule and which is soluble in an organic solvent with a linear polydiorganosiloxane having a polymerization degree of at least three and having only one chain end terminated with a group containing a nitrogen atom which is bonded to a silicon atom.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 56 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the compound with at least three silanol groups per molecule is a silicone resin having at least one unit selected from R¹₃SiO 1/2 , R²₂SiO, R³SiO 3/2 and SiO 4/2 , where each R¹, R² and R³ is independently selected from hydrogen atom, alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, and halogenated alkyl.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 29 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein each R¹, R², and R³ is independently selected from hydrogen atom, methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, vinyl, allyl, hexenyl, chloromethyl, chloropropyl and trifluoropropyl.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 26 words
A method according to claim 2, wherein the compound with at least three silanol groups per molecule is selected from organosilane triol, poly(hydroxydiorganosilyl)benzene, poly(hydroxydiorganosilyl)alkane, and poly(hydroxydiorganosilyl)alkene.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 41 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the linear polydiorganosiloxane having one chain end terminated with a group containing a nitrogen atom is selected from alkylamino, dialkylamino, alkenylamino, dialkenylamino, anilino, N-alkylacetamido, propionamido, N-alkylpropionamido, phthalimido, succinimido, isocyano, thioisocyano, piperidino, morpholino, and N-imidazolinyl.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 68 words
A method according to claim 1, wherein the degree of polymerization of the linear polydiorganosiloxane is in a range of three to 1,000; organic groups bonded to silicon atoms of the linear polydiorganosiloxane are independently selected from alkyl, aryl, alkenyl, and halogenated alkyl; and the chain end of the linear polydiorganosiloxane opposite the end terminated with a group containing a nitrogen atom is terminated with a triorganosilyl group.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 58 words
A method according to claim 6, wherein the degree of polymerization of the linear polydiorganosiloxane is in a range of three to 500; organic groups bonded to silicon atoms of the linear polydiorganosiloxane are independently selected from methyl, ethyl, propyl, phenyl, vinyl, allyl, hexenyl, chloromethyl, chloropropyl and trifluoropropyl; and the triorganosilyl group is selected from dimethylvinylsilyl and trimethylsilyl.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 21 words
