EXAMPLE - To a 20.6 g sulfonic acid functional cyclotetrasiloxane, 587.26 g of octamethyltetracyclosiloxane and 3.54 g of 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane were added and stirred at room temperature. After reaching an equilibrium of 87 wt.% of the linear siloxanes, the reaction mixture was neutralized using 26.9 of moistened sodium bicarbonate at 70 degrees C. The vacuum stripping of the reaction mixture at low pressure provided 542 g of hydride-terminated sulfonated polydimethylsiloxane polymer. 25 g Of the sulfonate functional polyorganosiloxane bearing terminal hydride groups was mixed with 50 g elastomer formulation (of liquid silicone rubber) in a blender to obtain composition.
