Our NMR and FTIR results showed that vinyl content increased with increasing of D4Vi when D4Vi/D4 monomer mixture was used for the equilibrium polymerization, which indicated that poly(vinylmethyl-dimethylsiloxane) (VPVMS) was successfully synthesized. High molecular weight of VPVMS was obtained with increasing D4Vi content in monomer mixture but the yield was relatively decreased. Thermal crosslinking was found in VPVMS due to the vinyl group in main chain, which caused better thermal stability than PDMS. VPVMS copolymer has higher melt viscosity and activation energy than PDMS homopolymer. It means that VPVMS copolymer shows less temperature dependency on viscosity, compared to PDMS homopolymer.
NMR과 FTIR 실험 결과, 혼합 단량체로 사용한 octamethyl cyclosiloxane(D4)와 1,3,5,7-tetramethyl-1,3,5,7-tetravinylcyclotetrasiloxane(D4Vi)의 비에 따라 D4Vi에 존재했던 비닐을 확인하여 poly(vinylmethyl-dimethylsiloxane)(VPVMS) 공중합체가 평형 중합에 의하여 성공적으로 합성되었음을 확인하였다. 1,3,-divinyltetramethyldisiloxane(VMS)를 기준으로 D4Vi/D4 혼합물의 D4Vi 함량이 증가함에 따라 분자량이 큰 VPVMS를 얻을 수 있는 반면 수득률은 감소함을 확인하였다. 합성된 VPVMS 공중합체는 열에 의하여 비닐기에 의한 열 경화가 일어나 poly(dimthylsiloxane)(PDMS)에 비하여 상대적으로 열 안정성이 우수해짐을 알 수 있었다. VPVMS 공중합체는 PDMS 단일중합체에 비하여 높은 점도를 가지며 활성화에너지도 높아 상대적으로 점도의 온도 의존성이 낮음을 알 수 있었다.
