Popis: Photo-oxidations at wavelengths longer than 300 nm of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) oil with various contents of SiH and different configurations (H inside the chain (2·2 H equivalent kg−1) or at the end of the chain (1·2–4 and 15 H equivalent kg−1)) have been examined. Hydroperoxides groups are primarily formed on photo-oxidation and result from radical attack on the SiH bond. These photo-unstable and thermally unstable hydroperoxides are transformed essentially into silanols, absorbing at 3300 cm−1. Oxygen consumption measurements suggest a 1 1 stoichiometry between SiH and oxygen consumed, whereas the quantitative determination of SiOH reveals a deficit, mainly as a result of a condensation reaction which leads to a significant increase in viscosity.
