The present invention relates to the composition, preparation, and use of multi-layer composite films comprising a core layer of low gas permeable material, two intermediate layers sandwiching the core layer, and two outer layers sandwiching the two intermediate layers. The core layer provides the excellent oxygen barrier property, whereas the intermediate and outer layers protect the core layer so the oxygen permeability of the resulting multi-layer composite film becomes independent on relative humidity.

1,1-dimethyl-2,3-benzo-1-sila-2-cyclobutene was synthesized from 2-bromobenzyl bromide through a modified Grignard procedure, which resulted in a higher (41%) than literature reported yield (35%). An alternative approach with a much less costly 2-chlorobenzyl chloride as starting material is also disclosed. In addition, new di-benzosilacyclobutene compounds were synthesized with our modified Grignard procedure. The compounds are useful as coating materials for surfaces, and when applied to metallic surfaces, can be used neat.

Barrier film for packaging

A composite films which exhibit low oxygen transmission rates. The film comprises a silane resin coated on a plastic substrate then cured by ultraviolet radiation. For the silane coating, this invention relies on a class of organosilicon compounds derived from 1) organohydrogensilanes or organohydrogensiloxanes and 2) propargyl esters of carboxylic acids containing a terminal aromatic hydrocarbon radical, where the carbopropynoxy group of the ester and the aromatic hydrocarbon radical are separated by at least two adjacent ethylenically unsaturated carbon atoms. If more than two of these carbon atoms are present they form a sequence of conjugated ethylenic double bonds which allows the polymer to cross-link upon exposure to ultraviolet radiation.

The present invention provides microencapsulated hydrosilylation catalysts for one-part heat curable organosiloxane compositions. Compositions containing these exhibit long-term storage stability yet cure rapidly when heated above the melting point of the encapsulating polymer. At least a portion of these microcapsules are less than one micron in diameter, and substantially all are less than about three microns in diameter. Compositions containing the preferred platinum group metals as catalysts are optically transparent. The microencapsulated curing catalysts of this invention are prepared by irradiating with UV light in the wavelength range of from 300 to 400 nanometers a solution containing (1) at least one of a specified group of photocrosslinkable organosiloxane compounds derived from propargyl esters of carboxylic acids containing a terminal aromatic hydrocarbon radical and at least two ethylenically unsaturated carbon atoms and (2) a liquid or solubilized hydrosilylation catalyst.

Cluster azasilacycloalkyl functional polysiloxanes are prepared by combining vinyl-containing polysiloxane, polyfunctional hydrogen polysiloxane, and a platinum catalyst; reacting the combination to produce .tbd.Si--CH.sub.2 CH.sub.2 --Si.tbd. linkages and substantial amounts of unreacted Si--H groups remain in the reaction product. The Si--H groups in the reaction product are reacted with aliphatically unsaturated azasilacycloalkane forming the cluster compound. These cluster azasilacycloalkyl functional polysiloxanes cure when exposed to moisture to elastomers, sealants, encapsulants, and resins products.
