Abstract: Poly(tetramethyl-p-silphenylene siloxane) (PMSPS) with Mw of 6.6×105 was synthesized by the ring-opening polymerization of dodecametliyl-cyeio-p-silphenylene trisiloxane (MSPTS) at 160℃ with potassium silanolate (0.01%)as the catalyst.The relationship between conversion of monomer or Mw of PMSPS and polymerization time indicates that under the mentioned polymerization condition,the MSPTSis active enough to polymerize and the ring-opening polymerization ss basically completed within half an hour.In addition,some properties of PMSPS,characterized by GPC,FTIR,1H NMR,13C NMR and TGA are also reported.The TGAresult shows that PMSPS has a much higher thermal stability than that of polydimethylsiloxane mrtety.
