A UV curable ladder-like diphenylsiloxane-bridged methacryl-phenyl-siloxane (L-MPS) was synthesized from phenyltrichlorosilane, diphenylsilanediol and methacryloxypropyldimethylmethoxysilane via dehydrochlorination precoupling, supramolecular architecture-directed hydrolysis-condensation and end-capping reactions. The L-MPS has a condensation degree of ∼100%, and can be complete crosslinked by UV curing. XRD, TEM and molecular simulation suggest that the ladder-like molecules are close packed with a periodic distance of ca. 1.2 nm. The L-MPS shows transmittance of 98% and a refractive index of ca. 1.61 at 450 nm. The cured L-MPS with a T  d5% value of 465.5 °C showed excellent anti-yellowing and anti-sulfidation properties. The cured L-MPS film and the encapsulated LED samples were compared with those of Dow Corning OE-6630 and OE-7662. It is believed that the dense nano-ladder unit also contributes to the thermal, gas barrier and even optical properties. L-MPS shows promising potential as a high power LED encapsulant and optical coating for use in harsh environments. This work provides an approach to integrate this novel ladder structure with advanced properties.
