Summary
Novel poly(tetramethylsilarylenesiloxane) derivatives, i.e. poly(tetramethyl-2,6-silanthrylenesiloxane) (P1), poly(tetramethyl-9,10-silanthrylenesiloxane) (P2), and poly(tetramethyl-1,8-silphenanthrylenesiloxane) (P3), were synthesized by polycondensation of novel disilanol monomers, i.e. 2,6-bis(dimethylhydroxysilyl)-anthracene (M1), 9,10-bis(dimethylhydroxysilyl)anthracene (M2), and 1,8-bis(dimethylhydroxysilyl)phenanthrene (M3), respectively. P1 and P3 were soluble in common organic solvents, such as benzene, toluene, chloroform, dichloromethane, tetrahydrofuran, etc. whereas P2 was almost insoluble in common organic solvents. It was revealed that P1 and P3 were amorphous and that P2 exhibited the crystallinity, as deduced from differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction measurements. The glass transition temperatures (Tg’s) of P1 (118 °C) and P3 (100 °C) were much higher than that of poly(tetramethyl-1,4-silphenylenesiloxane). The temperature at 5% weight loss (Td5) of P3 was 500 °C, which was higher than those of P1 and P2, and comparable to that of poly(tetramethyl-1,4-silphenylenesiloxane). It would be speculated that the thermostability of the series of poly(tetramethyl-silarylenesiloxane) derivatives is dependent on the stability of arylene moieties incorporated.
