We present synthesis of a new kind of organic-inorganic hybrid polymer, poly xylene-hexamethyltrisiloxane hybrid (PXS) by a new synthetic way from o-xylene and 1,1,3,3,5,5-hexamethyltrisiloxane. The merged molecular structure of the two monomeric components for the PXS polymer was confirmed by $^{13}C$- and $^1H$-NMR, and FT-IR. Its optical absorption and emission properties were investigated by UV-vis absorption and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. The PXS exhibits absorption at 265 nm which is the same with the o-xylene but tailing up to nearly 400 nm, which is maybe related the polymeric structure of the PXS. For the PL investigation, the PXS shows red-shift of the peak from 288 nm (o-xylene) to 372 nm in the case of excitation at 265 nm, at which both PXS and o-xylene have sufficiently high absorption for excitation. When 325-nm laser is used for excitation, the PXS shows a broader peak at 395 nm compared to the excitation at 265 nm and the o-xylene shows no luminescence probably due to the lack of absorption at 325 nm.

Polyorganosiloxane having controlled cross-linking density and phenyl group content were prepared by dimethyldimethoxysilane (DMDMS), methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and phenyltrimethoxysilane (PTMS). The effect of cross-linking density and phenyl group content on the physical properties of siloxane resin and its coated film have been invetigated. Si-NMR results confirmed that synthesized siloxane resins have equivalent D $T^{Me}$ $T^{Ph}$ structures according to applied mole ratios of DMDMS, MTMS and PTMS. Polyorganosiloxane having higher cross-linking density with high phenyl content showed the high molecular weight and increasing phenyl content resulted in higher refractive index as well as better thermal stability. Cross-linking density is more important factor than phenyl content to obtain higher pencil hardness of coated film on the glass. Our results concluded that even polyorganosiloxanes having similar siloxane structures show different physical properties as function of cross-linking density and phenyl content in polyorganosiloxane.
