Patent ID: 7074488

Claim:
A branched polysiloxane having the general formula: X-(D a )-(D b T c ), wherein X-(D a ) is a linear moiety and (D b T C ) is a branched moiety where X is a substituted or unsubstituted, monovalent or divalent C 1 to C 10 hydrocarbon having a functional group where the functional group comprises amino, mercapto, or carboxylic acid; where D is where R 5 and R 6 are independently halogenated or unhalogenated C 1 to C 10 monovalent hydrocarbon or substituted or unsubstituted C 1 to C 10 monovalent hydrocarbon; where T is (R 7 ) d SiO (4-d)/2 where R 7 is a substituted or unsubstituted monovalent C 1 to C 10 hydrocarbon; wherein the branched polysiloxane is end-capped by where R 8 is a monovalent C 1 to C 10 haloalkyl or an unsubstituted monovalent C 1 to C 10 hydrocarbon; and wherein a is 1 to 300, b is 25 to 5000, c is 1 to 100, d is 0 or 1; and T c is randomly distributed in the branched polysiloxane.
