EXAMPLE - A three necked 500 ml flask was charged with 70.08 g of alpha -methylstyrene and 10x 10-4 g of platinum catalyst. The temperature of the resulting mixture was brought to 115 degrees C, then 30 g of 1,3,5,7-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane was added drop wise and continued to stir. After 12 hours of the reaction, complete conversion of silicone hydride was observed. Then, the reaction mixture was vacuum stripped at 150 degrees C for 2 hours to remove unreacted alpha -methylstyrene to obtain 80.5 g of aralkylene substituted cyclotetrasiloxane (a). Then 18.64 g of chlorosulfonic acid dissolved in 4 ml of dichloromethane was added drop wise to 14.24 g of (a) for 30 minutes while the mixture was stirred at room temperature. The resulting mixture was continued to stir for an additional 30 minutes. Then the vacuum stripping of the reaction mixture at low pressure afforded 20.6 g of sulfonic acid functional cyclotetrasiloxane as brown viscous gum. Octamethyltetracyclosiloxane (587.26 g) and 1,1,3,3-tetramethyldisiloxane (3.54 g) were added to the solution of sulfonic acid functional cyclotetrasiloxane (20.6 g), and continued to stir at room temperature. After reaching an equilibrium of approximately 87 wt.% of the linear siloxanes, the reaction mixture was neutralized using (26.9 g) moistened sodium bicarbonate at 70 degrees C. The vacuum stripping of the reaction mixture at low pressure afforded 542 g of a sodium salt of sulfonic acid functional polydimethylsiloxane bearing terminal group.
