MQ silicone resins represent a broad range of hydrolytic condensation products of monofunctional silane (M units) and tetrafunctional silane (Q units). In this work, a Bio-Phenol MQ silicone resin (BPMQ) was designed and synthesized by the hydrosilylation of hydrogen containing MQ silicone resin and eugenol in the presence of chloroplatinic acid. The structure, thermal property, and antibacterial property against Escherichia coli of the modified MQ silicone resin were investigated. The results showed that BPMQ has been prepared successfully, and the thermal stability of this modified polymer improved significantly because of the introduction of phenyl in eugenol. The temperature at the maximum degradation rate increased from 250 °C to 422.5 °C, and the residual yields mass left at 600 °C were increased from 2.0% to 28.3%. In addition, its antibacterial property against Escherichia coli was also enhanced markedly without adding any other antimicrobial agents. This improved performance is ascribed to special functional groups in the structure of eugenol. The BPMQ polymer is expected to be applied to pressure-sensitive adhesives and silicone rubber products for the biomedical field due to its reinforcing effect and antioxidant quality.
