Abstract
The current work has focused on the preparation and property of a novel fluorosilicone oil with polyfluoroalkyloxypropyl group substitution. Using fluoroalcohols as materials, three kinds of fluorosilicone oil, named [3-(2,2,2- trifluoroethyl-oxy)propyl]methylsilicone oil, [3-(2,2,3,3-tetrafluoropropyl-oxy)propyl] methylsilicone oil and [3-(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl-oxy)propyl]methyl silicone oil, were prepared via condensation, hydrosilylation, cyclization and ringopening polymerization. All the fluoroalkyl derivatives were characterized by NMR, FT-IR, MS and elemental analysis technique. The thermal stability of these fluoroalkyoxypropylmethylsilicone oils was identified to be excellent by thermogravimetric analysis. [3-(2,2,3,3,4,4,5,5-octafluoropentyl-oxy)propyl]methyl silicone oils with different viscosity were prepared by varying the amount of endblock reagent in the polymerization, and the antifoam property of these fluorosilicone oils was investigated. The result showed that the antifoam property of octafluorosilicone oil with higher viscosity was better than that with lower viscosity.
