Abstract:
Disclosed herein are cobalt complexes containing terdentate pyridine di-imine ligands and their use as efficient and selective dehydrogenative silylation and crosslinking catalysts.
Abstract:
A water soluble silicone macromer comprising a siloxane backbone having grafted thereto a suitable number of hydrophilic groups to render the macromer water soluble, the macromer comprising a polymerizable functional group grafted to the siloxane backbone. In one aspect, the present invention provides a water soluble silicone macromer having a structure of Formula (1): where M is a hydrophilic group or segment; L is a hydrophilic or hydrophobic linkage; N is a hydrophilic or hydrophobic group or segment. Q is a polymerizable functional group; x is zero or an integer greater than zero; y is zero or an integer greater than zero; v is zero or an integer greater than zero; and z is greater than zero, with the proviso that both y and v are not zero.
Abstract:
A process for the hydrosilylation of an unsaturated compound comprising reacting (a) a silyl hydride with (b) an unsaturated compound in the presence of (c) a platinum compound and (d) a cyclodiene, with the provisos that (i) when the unsaturated compound is a terminal alkyne, the silyl hydride is other than a halosilane, and (ii) when the platinum compound is a Pt(II)-based compound, the ratio of total moles of cyclodiene to moles of platinum is less than 3:1.
Abstract:
A composition comprising a carbocyclic group and a hydrophilic moiety attached thereto an alpha, beta-unsaturated organosilicon compound. Such compounds are useful in developing water absorbing silicone-hydrogel films. Silicone-hydrogel films provide increased oxygen to pass through a lens or other treated materials.
