Abstract
Silicone precursors
of high purity can now be synthesized via the solvent-free hydrosilylation of
olefins mediated by highly stable and active hybrid glassy catalyst comprised
of mesoporous organosilica microspheres doped with Pt nanoparticles. These
findings open the route to more sustainable silicone manufacturing while
providing desirable further reduction in the amount of platinum in silicones,
namely ubiquitous advanced polymers with multiple uses and applications.
