Preparation and Characterization of a Novel Vinyl Polysiloxane Getter for Hydrogen Elimination.

ABSTRACT: Hydrogen generation and accumulation in confined spaces poses safety concerns due to its reactivity with oxygen to form explosions and the ability to embrittle metals. Various organic getters have been developed to eliminate hydrogen and minimize these undesired effects; however, these getters are usually powders with low molecular weights and are difficult to apply in complex structures. Polymer getters exhibit the promising features required for confined space applications, where could be readily processed into various shapes and forms. Unfortunately, polymer getters are relatively unexplored and their recorded performances are far from satisfactory. In this work, we report the preparation and characterization of novel vinyl polysiloxane getters. Starting from a methyl vinyl silicone oil
