Study on the Kinetics of Silicone Hydrolysis Reaction

In the kinetic study of fast chemical reactions, online in-situ spectral monitoring is the only research method

In situ Raman spectroscopy can quantitatively determine the kinetics of base-catalyzed hydrolysis of methyltrimethoxysilane. An in-depth understanding of the hydrolysis reaction of alkoxysilanes is of great significance for the synthesis of silicone resins. The hydrolysis reaction of alkoxysilanes, especially methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), under alkaline conditions is very fast, and the reaction is difficult to terminate, and at the same time, there is a reverse hydrolysis reaction in the system. Therefore, it is very difficult to determine reaction kinetics using conventional offline analytical methods. In-situ Raman spectroscopy can be used to measure the content changes of MTMS under different reaction conditions and conduct alkali-catalyzed hydrolysis kinetics research. It has the advantages of short measurement time, high sensitivity and less interference, and can monitor the rapid hydrolysis reaction of MTMS in real time.
