How are linear silicones obtained?

1.	How are linear silicones obtained?
Answer» es have the general formula as the repeating UNITS. They are organo silicon polymeric compounds contains the Si–O–Si linkages. In order to manufacture silicones, the starting material may be alkyl or aryl substituted chlorides In order to produce straight or LINEAR silicones i) hydrolysis of dimethylchlorosilane. i.e. (CH3)2SiCl2 II) the hydrolysed product is followed by condensation iii) the condensed product on polymerization yields straight chain or linear POLYMERS.
