Abstract

Thermal properties of variously substituted poly [(disilanylene) oligophenylenes],[( SiR1R2SiR1R2)(p-C6H4) m] n (R1= R2= Me, R1= R2= Et, and R1= Ph, R2= Me, m= 1–4) were investigated. The thermogravimetric analysis of the polymers in the range of 20–1000° C showed rapid weight loss starting from about 400° C. The total weight loss of the polymers at 1000° C was calculated to be 54.5–75.5% based on the initial weight of the polymers. ...
