Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Described herein is a method of making silsesquioxane-like particles using polyhydrosiloxanes and a water soluble base. The silsesquioxane-like particles have an average particle diameter of less than 100 micrometers and are substantially free of —OH bonds. In one embodiment, the silsesquioxane-like particles may be used in films.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A composition comprising a particle, wherein the particle is derived from an aqueous solution comprising a water soluble base, and a polyhydrosiloxane. 2. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyhydrosiloxane is selected from: polymethylhydrosiloxane, polyethylhydrosiloxane, polypropylhydrosiloxane, polybutylhydosiloxane, polybenzylhydrosiloxane, methylhydrogen cyclosiloxane, and combinations thereof. 3. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the aqueous solution comprises a polar organic solvent and water. 4. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the polyhydrosiloxane is of the formula where Z 1 and Z 2 are endgroups; n is an integer greater than 2; and R is an organic group. 5. The composition of claim 4 , wherein R is an alkyl group. 6. The composition of claim 5 , wherein the alkyl group comprises at least one of methyl, ethyl, propyl, butyl, octyl, and phenyl. 7. The composition of claim 5 , wherein R comprises at least one halogen. 8. The composition of claim 5 , wherein R comprises at least one catenary heteroatom. 9. The composition of claim 1 , wherein the particle is substantially free of —OH bonds, meaning that when analyzed by FTIR, the peak area from 3100-3600 cm −1 divided by the total peak area from 500-4000 cm −1 has a ratio less than 2%. 10. A film comprising the composition of claim 1 . 11. The film of claim 10 , wherein the film is hydrophobic. 12. A composite comprising the composition of claim 1 .
