Silicon based polymers: advances in synthesis and supramolecular organization

Silicon Based Polymers presents highlights in advanced research and technological innovations using macromolecular organosilicon compounds and systems, as presented in the 2007 ISPO congress. Silicon-containing materials and polymersare used all over the world and in a variety of industries, domestic productsand high technology applications. Among them, silicones are certainly the most well–known, however there are still new properties discovered and preparative processes developed all the time, therefore adding to their potential. Less known, but in preparation for the future, are other silicon containing-polymers which are now close to maturity and in fact some are already available like polysilsesquioxanes and polysilanes. All these silicon based materials can adopt very different structures like chains, dendrimers, hyperbranched and networks, physical and chemical gels. There is an increasing interest in materials based on silicon chemistry that cover several domains : (1) polymer chemistry and physics (2) sol-gel chemistry (3) and a large variety of applications Developments are continuing at a fast rate, presentation of the results is absolutely necessary INDICE: From the contents Preface.
