Conclusions
-
1.
A study of the hydrolytic polycondensation of methyltrichlorosilane (MTCS) in the presence of a hydrogen chloride acceptor, using various solvents as the medium, disclosed that in a solvent medium in which water is readily soluble the process proceeds with the formation of soluble polycyclic compounds and is independent of the methyltrichlorosilane concentration.
-
2.
The formation of soluble hydrolytic polycondensation products of MTCS is due to the faster rate of the intramolecular condensation reaction, which leads to a termination of the growing chain.
