A series of boron based Lewis acids have been reported to date, but among them, tris
(pentafluorophenyl) borane (BCF) has gained the most significant attention in the synthetic …

This review presents the main achievements in the use of the thiol-ene reaction in the
chemistry of silicones. Works are considered, starting from monomers and ending with …

Polymer blending is a cost‐effective way to control the properties of soft materials, but the
propensity for blends to macrophase separate motivates the development of efficient …

The Piers–Rubinsztajn (PR) reaction catalyzed by a metal-free B (C6F5) 3 catalyst was
reported as efficient in synthesizing novel polysiloxanes through polycondensation of …

Comprehensive Summary Post‐modification of polymers offers a route to prepare
functionalized polymers through efficient chemical reactions, and hydrosilylation is one of …

Tris (pentafluorophenyl) borane (TPFPB) is a unique Lewis acid that catalyzes the
condensation between hydrosilanes (Si-H) and alkoxysilanes (Si-OR), leading to the …

Nano-SiO 2 porous thermal insulating material (TIM) has drawn tremendous research
interests due to its advantages of low density, high porosity and low thermal conductivity …

The synthetic utility of heterotelechelic polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) derivatives is limited
due to challenges in preparing materials with high chain-end fidelity. In this study, anionic …

A series of silicone rubber foam (SF)/silicon dioxide (SiO2) nanocomposites were prepared
by room temperature vulcanization. The effects of SiO2 content on the crosslinking density …

B (C6F5) 3 was reported as an efficient metal-free catalyst for synthesis of poly (silyl ether) s
through hydrosilylation polyaddition of disilanes with diketones at ambient conditions. In this …
