Patent ID: 11981815

Abstract:
A networked silicone is disclosed. The networked silicone comprises crosslinked strands of hindered organosilicon compounds. A composition for preparing the networked silicone is also disclosed, and comprises (A) a hindered organosilicon compound, (B) a crosslinking compound, and optionally (C) a catalyst. Additionally, a method of preparing the networked silicone is disclosed, and comprises reacting the hindered organosilicon compound (A) and the crosslinking compound (B), optionally in the presence of the catalyst (C), to give the networked silicone. A reaction product comprising the networked silicone is also disclosed. The reaction product is prepared from the composition and/or in accordance with the method, and may be a cured product. Additionally, a composite article and a method of forming the same are disclosed. The composite article is formed by disposing a networked silicone composition on the substrate and curing the networked silicone composition, thereby preparing the composite article.
