Abstract:
1. A method of forming a modified surface acoustic wave substrate comprising the steps of: (a) reacting a cyclic carbosilane precursor with an initiator or catalyst to perform a ring opening polymerization reaction, thereby forming an intermediate polymer having the following structure: (b) selecting a starting material independently selected from the group consisting of substituted metallated hydrocarbons and substituted metallated carbosilanes; (c) reacting said substituted metallated hydrocarbon or said substituted metallated carbosilane with the intermediate polymer, thereby forming a disubstituted silane or carbosilane intermediate having the structure: (d) reacting said disubstituted silane or carbosilane intermediate having alkenyl or aromatic residues with hexafluoroacetone, thereby forming said substituted carbosilane polymer; and (e) affixing said substituted carbosilane polymer to a surface acoustic wave (SAW) substrate.
