Abstract:
Thermoplastic resin polymer compositions having a block of random polysiloxane co- or terpolymer structure, such as substituted phenyl-terminated polysiloxane co- or terpolymers having the general structure: provide improved flame resistance, optical clarity, and better low-temperature impact strength compared to conventional blends, additives, and copolymers. The substituted phenyl terminated polysiloxanes may be used to make various polysiloxane-thermoplastic resin polymer and polymer blends, as well as articles including such polysiloxane-thermoplastic resin polymer and blends.

Abstract:
A process for producing a silane-crosslinked polyolefin which comprises exposing a polyolefin containing at least one [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane ring structure to moisture in the presence of an organic carboxylic acid, which is used as a hydrolysis and condensation catalyst and does not contain tin, thereby producing the silane-crosslinked polyolefin, wherein the polyolefin containing at least one [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane ring structure is made by the process of grafting an olefinically unsaturated [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane to a polyolefin in the presence of a free radical initiator. There is also provided the resulting silane-crosslinked polyolefin and the graftable silane composition used in the process.
