Thermal Stability of Silicon-Based Hybrid Materials Containing Aluminum Studied by 27Al and 29Si Solid State MAS NMR
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
The addition of A(OBUs)2EAA to silicon-based materials containing PhTES or Glymo leads to a decrease in the thermal stability of the trifunctional siloxanes. 29Si MAS NMR shows that breaking of the Si-C bond and formation of an extra Si-O bond occurs after heating to 200°C of these materials. MeTES-containing materials are stable up to (at least) 200'C. The preparation of samples using Na[AlOR4] instead of Al(OBus)2EAA showed that the undesired decomposition reaction is caused by octahedral (non-network) aluminum (27Al MAS NMR). Up to 4–5 Si-C bonds are broken per octahedral aluminum, which indicates a catalytic effect.
