[0126] In one embodiment, the compound according to the present technology can be prepared by introducing an imide group and an epoxy group into a siloxane unit via a hydrosilylation reaction. In one embodiment, an alkenyl-functionalized imide reacts with a hydride-functionalized siloxane to provide an imide-functionalized siloxane. The reaction can be controlled such that a molar excess of the hydride functional group is present after the reaction with the imide, such that the imide-functionalized siloxane comprises the hydride functional group. The imide-functionalized siloxane comprising the hydride functional group is then reacted with an alkenyl-functionalized epoxy group to produce an imide-functionalized organopolysiloxane.

[0127] The reaction can be carried out in a solvent. A solvent may be required, for example, to dissolve the alkenyl-functionalized imide. The reaction can also be carried out at elevated temperatures. In embodiments, the reaction for adding the imide and the epoxy group can be carried out at temperatures of about 50°C to about 110°C, about 60°C to about 100°C, or about 75°C to about 90°C.

The catalysts used in the reactions of alkenyl-functionalized imides can also be used in the reactions of alkenyl-functionalized epoxy groups with imide-functionalized siloxanes. There are no particular limitations on the hydrosilylation catalysts, and any suitable hydrosilylation catalyst can be used in the reaction. In one embodiment, the catalyst is selected from platinum group metal-based hydrosilylation catalysts. For the purposes of this invention, the term "platinum group metals" means ruthenium, rhodium, palladium, osmium, iridium, and platinum. In one embodiment, the hydrosilylation catalyst is platinum-based. A further preferred hydrosilylation catalyst is a platinum-alkenylsiloxane complex.

The imidization reaction involves adding a dianhydride substituted with an aliphatic or aromatic group; a diamino or dianhydride-functionalized siloxane; and an aliphatic or aromatic-functionalized amine to produce an imide-functionalized siloxane comprising one or more substituents. The imidization reaction involves reacting a diaminosiloxane with a dianhydride and optionally a functionalized amino organic group and / or anhydride and heating the mixture.
