Notes:
When hexaphenylcyclotrisilazane was heated above 450°C. at atmospheric pressure, it formed an infusible polymer of exceptional thermal and chemical stability. The polymerization, which was accompanied by elimination of benzene, is represented approximately by the equation: \documentclass{article}\pagestyle{empty}\begin{document}$\eta [({\rm C}_6 {\rm H}_5)_2 {\rm SiNH}]_3\,\, \to \,\,({\rm C}_6 {\rm H}_5 {\rm SiN})_{3n} + 3n{\rm C}_6 {\rm H}_6$\end{document} The infusible polymer was a foamed, vitreous, pale yellow solid with a high degree of stability to heat, acids, alkali, and organic solvents. A similar reaction occured with a resein that was obtained as a by-product in the preparation of hexaphenylcyclotrisilazane and with a mixture of silylamines that was obtained from the reaction of methylphenyldichlorosilane with ammonia. Coatings on aluminum and steel prepared by heating the silylamine polymers had good thermal stability and adhesion. Inclusion of a polymeric dimethylsilyl derivative of ethylenediamine improved the flexibility of the coatings.
