Supramolecular zwitterionic silicones are synthesized by aza-Michael reaction between acrylic acid and amine-functional polydimethylsiloxanes. The in-depth characterization of this chemistry, applied for the first time to silicones, is investigated first with model alkylamines (hexylamine, 2-ethylhexylamine and N-propylethylenediamine), a model oligosiloxane (3-aminopropylmethyl bis(trimethylsiloxy)silane), and finally various amino-polysiloxanes. It is shown that after a first acid-base reaction resulting in ionic pairing, aza-Michael addition proceeds smoothly in mild conditions (50 °C, 1-week reaction).

- The Lewis acid B(C(6)F(5))(3) paired with hydrosilanes effectively promotes the oligomerization of sulfone- and phosphonate-based monomers.
- This reaction leads to the development of advanced silicone-based materials, like thermoplastic elastomers and heat-resistant polysiloxanes.
- These new materials have potential applications in high-tech industries due to their desirable properties.
