Abstract
A process for preparing polysiloxanes is a two-part polycondensation of alkoxy silanes and/or alkoxy siloxanes the process comprising the following steps: (a) hydrolysis of the alkoxy silanes and/or alkoxy siloxanes to hydroxyl-functional silanes and/or hydroxyl-functional siloxanes; and (b) condensation of the hydroxyl-functional silanes and/or hydroxyl-functional siloxanes to form polysiloxane polycondensation product; where the process is characterized by having both gel-type heterogeneous acid catalysts and gel-type heterogeneous base catalysts present concurrently during both the hydrolysis and condensation steps.
