…predominating. The hydrolysis of Si(CH3)2Cl2, relevant to modern siloxane technology, proceeds more slowly. The most common silicones are composed mostly of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS). PDMS is derived by hydrolysis of dimethyldichlorosilane according to the following idealized equation: The polymerization typically produces…
