The Behaviors of Poly (1-silacyclopentane) and Its Copolymers

Abstract

Electrochemical polymerization of 1, 1-dichloro-1-silacyclopentane was carried out to synthesize poly (1-silacyclopentane). Electrochemical co-polymerization of 1, 1-dichloro-1-silacyclopentane and dibutyldichlorosilane gave the copolymers. As the content of the cyclic monomer was increased, the yields decreased, the molecular weights became smaller, and the absorption peak shifted to the shorter wavelength.
