What is Condensation Polymerization of Oligomeric Polydimethylsiloxanols in Aqueous Emulsion about?
## Abstract Polydimethylsiloxane oligomers with silanol ends condense in aqueous dispersion under mild conditions to form high polymers in the presence of sulfonic acid surfactants. The process follows a second‐order rate law in silanol if reversibility is taken into account. The second‐order rate constant is proportional to the area at the oil–water interface and is a complex function of surfactant concentration. The principal driving force is the heat of condensation of the water produced in the polymerization. A mechanism paralleling surface catalysis is offered in which a termolecular complex that consists of two surfactant molecules and one silanol end group reacts bimolecularly at the oil–water interface.
