Palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of phenyl, vinyl, and allyl siloxane derivatives proceeded in good to excellent yield with aryl iodides, electron-deficient aryl bromides, and allylic benzoates. Methyl and 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl siloxane derivatives can be employed in the coupling reaction. Electron-donating and -withdrawing groups are tolerated on the aryl halide without affecting the coupling...

AB S TRACT: Montmorillonites ion-exchanged with Li +, Na +, K § Ca 2+, Mg 2+ and Ni 2+ and acidic clay were used as catalysts for the polymerization of a cyclic siloxane monomer, 2,4,6,8tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane. Montmorillonites with Ni 2+ and Mg 2+ in the interlayer, and acidic clay exhibit a greater ability for siloxane polymerization in both yield and mean molecular weight of products t...

Activated carbon filters are used to limit engine damage by siloxanes when biogas is utilised to provide electricity. However, carbon filter siloxane removal performance is poorly understood as until recently, it had not been possible to measure siloxanes on-line. In this study, on-line Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was developed to measure siloxane concentration in real biogas...

new biodegradable network polymers containing siloxane-linked polymeric prodrugs of 5-ammino-2-hydroxybenzoic acid (5-asa) in the main chain were prepared by ter polymerization of methacrylic acid (ma), 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (hema), and bis (trimethylsilyloxy) methylsilane (vbm) in the presence of some new cross-linking agents.the monomers and polymers were characterized by ft-ir and 1h-nm...

Statement of the Problem: Understanding about impression materials, their properties, uses and manipulation can guide operators towards having more successful restorations. Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to compare the accuracy of a condensation silicone impression material, Optosil, and an addition poly siloxane impression material, Elite-HD. Materials and Method: A laboratory mod...

Aim: Close adaptation of cemented CAD/CAM restorations to their abutments is highly dependent on precise impressions and accurate replicas teeth adjacent oral tissues. This in-vitro study compared the effect two die materials, as physical prepared teeth, internal marginal adaptations zirconia copings corresponding abutments. Materials Methods: A virtual model simulating a premolar was designed ...
