Linear polycarboranesiloxanes

Abstract

Abstract Aspects of the present status of structure‐property correlations for linear polycarboranesiloxanes which contain rigid carborane cages and flexible siloxane in‐chain linkages are discussed. Low temperature secondary transitions, glass transitions, crystallization and melting transitions, and high temperature chemical transformations in inert and air atmospheres are emphasized. The linear polymers serve as the basis for new high‐temperature elastomers.
