Selectively Cleavable Silicone Elastomers Based on Acetal Cross‐Linkers: Synthesis, Properties, and Study of Chemical Degradation

Journal of Polymer Science, EarlyView.
A novel silicone elastomer based on selectively cleavable acetal cross‐linkers incorporated by hydrosilylation was developed. Different acetal cross‐linkers were synthesized and introduced into a silicone formulation of vinyl‐terminated PDMS and tetrakis(dimethylsiloxy)silane using Karstedt's catalyst.
