Ester-functional polysiloxanes and copolymers made therefrom

Plant oil-based compounds are provided which possess both low viscosity and high reactive functionality. These compounds are useful in coating and composite applications, as well as related methods. Exemplary compounds can be produced by transesterification of a plant oil triglyceride with a nucleophile reactant, such as a vinyl-functional alcohol, to yield reactive fatty acid-containing monomers.

Plant oil-based materials

A process for producing a silane-crosslinked polyolefin which comprises exposing a polyolefin containing at least one [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane ring structure to moisture in the presence of an organic carboxylic acid, which is used as a hydrolysis and condensation catalyst and does not contain tin, thereby producing the silane-crosslinked polyolefin, wherein the polyolefin containing at least one [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane ring structure is made by the process of grafting an olefinically unsaturated [1,3,2]-dioxasilinane to a polyolefin in the presence of a free radical initiator. There is also provided the resulting silane-crosslinked polyolefin and the graftable silane composition used in the process.
