Abstract: Poly[methyl(trifluoropropyl)siloxane](PMTFPS) was prepared in the mixing chamber of a HAAKE torque rheometer using sodium silanolate as the initiator, and ethyl acetate(EA) as the promoter. The promoting effect of EA in the anionic bulk polymerization of D3F was investigated. The results show that the maximum of number average molecular weight(Mn=2.45×105) of PMTFPS was obtained with high yield(89.2%) when the polymerization was carried out in the presence of 2.74%initiator and 0.30 mol/L EA at 120 ℃ for 4.0 min. The backbiting reactions were almost suppressed and 0.74% cyclic by-products were obtained by matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS) for EA promoter system. Investigations of differential scanning calorimetry(DSC) and thermogravimetic analysis(TGA) show that PMTFPS can be used in a wide range of operational temperatures.
