Polysilsesquioxane (PSQ) liquids have been prepared from propyltrimethoxysilane-water and trimethoxy(3-sulfanylpropyl)silane-water binary systems without the use of organic solvents through hydrolytic polycondensation followed by aging. By introducing the aging step, the viscosity of the as-prepared PSQ liquid is decreased by more than an order of magnitude, and the long-term viscosity stability is improved considerably. These variations are mainly attributed to the modification of the topology of the Si-O-Si network because the crosslinking density was influenced little by the aging. The viscosity of PSQ liquids obtained via aging at 80 °C was ∼4-5 × 10(3) mPa s at 30 °C and the viscosity increase was less than 25% after storage for 2 months at room temperature despite the many unreacted silanol (SiOH) groups present in the liquid.

The development of biobased polyesters with the combination of high UV shielding and degradability is a significant challenge. Herein, three 4-membered cyclic monomers containing two pyrrolidone and two furan rings were prepared by the aza-Michael addition of biobased bifuran diamine and dimethyl itaconate (DMI). They were available in melt polycondensation reactions with various diols to synthesize biobased polyesters.

Traditional photopolymerizations generally require an initiator for initiating the polymerization while few cases have created degradable chemical bonds. Moreover, the migration instability and cytotoxicity of photo initiators are posing issues to human health and the environment. In this work, we discovered an initiator-free photo polycondensation system (IFPPC) between polymercaptans and aldehyde monomers, producing elastic and high strength plastic materials with exchangeable and degradable dithioacetal groups.

The requirement for the development of advanced technologies is the need to create new functional thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes. Combining the potential of organosilicon chemistry and the chemistry of heterocyclic compounds is a promising direction for the formation of novel organosilicon polymer systems with new properties and new possibilities for their practical application. Using the classical method of hydrolysis and polycondensation of previously unknown trifunctional (trimethoxysilylpropyl)glutarimide in the presence or absence of an acid or base catalyst, a universal approach to the formation of new thermostable soluble polysilsesquioxanes with glutarimide side-chain groups is proposed, which forms the basis for the synthesis of polysilsesquioxane polymers with different functionality.

Eugenol-containing oligoorganosilsesquioxanes were synthesized by the method of hydrolytic polycondensation in an active medium under various reaction conditions. The obtained products were characterized by Si NMR spectroscopy and MALDI-TOF spectrometry. It was shown that factors such as the reaction temperature, polycondensation duration, and molar ratio between the initial alkoxysilane monomer and acetic acid may affect the molecular weight characteristics and molecular structure of the formed oligomer, like the content of stressed cyclic units (T, DTT, TDT) and unstressed silsesquioxane units TD.

This study focuses on the development of environmentally sustainable polypropylene (PP)-based composites with the potential for biodegradability by incorporating cellulose and the oligomeric siloxane ES-40. Targeting industrial applications such as fused deposition modeling (FDM) 3D printing, ES-40 was employed as a precursor for the in situ formation of silica particles via hydrolytic polycondensation (HPC). Two HPC approaches were investigated: a preliminary reaction in a mixture of cellulose, ethanol, and water, and a direct reaction within the molten PP matrix.
