Hybrid melting gels were prepared by a sol-gel process, starting with a mono-substituted siloxane and a disubstituted siloxane, methyltrimethoxysilane (MTES) together with dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDES). Five gel compositions were prepared with concentrations between 50% MTES-50% DMDES and 75% MTES-25% DMDES (in mol.%). The consolidation temperature, the treatment temperature after which the melting gel no longer softens, increased from 135 to 160 degrees C with a decrease in the amount of the mono-substituted siloxane. The glass transition temperature, recorded with differential scanning calorimetry, decreased from -0.3 to -56.7 degrees C with a decrease in the amount of the mono-substituted siloxane. When a sample was heat treated isothermally for 2 h at the consolidation temperature, the glass transition temperature increased by about 15 degrees, indicating further crosslinking of the siloxane network.
