Abstract

Comb-like polymethylsiloxanes consisting of a silsesquioxane backbone and dimethylsiloxane side chains were synthesized by means of the “grafting to” method using a linear polyfunctional matrix [SiMe(ONa)O]n and monofunctional oligomers (CH3)3Si[OSi(CH 3)2]nOCOCH3. The effects of architecture of the synthesized methylsiloxane polymers on their physicochemical properties, rheology, and behavior at the air–water interface were studied and compared with those for the linear analogue – polydimethylsiloxane.
