A novel one-pot synthesized organosiloxane: synthesis and conversion to directly thermo-crosslinked polysiloxanes with low dielectric constants and excellent thermostability†
Abstract
A novel organosiloxane containing a thermally cross-linkable benzocyclobutene group was successfully synthesized through a one-pot Grignard reaction procedure. The organosiloxane can be easily polymerized or copolymerized to form the oligomers which can be directly converted to cross-linked network structures with excellent thermostability and low dielectric constants, implying that the organosiloxane has potential application in the electrical and microelectronics industry.
