Aminopropyl‐terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) (ATPS) with different molecular weights was prepared by base‐catalyzed equilibration of octamethylcyclotetrasiloxane and 1,3‐bis(3‐aminopropyl)‐1,1,3,3‐tetramethyldisiloxane with different ratios. Their number‐average molecular weights ( M n ) were determined by end–group analysis, and intrinsic viscosity ([η]) in toluene was measured with a Ubbelohde viscometer. A relationship between M n and [η] was obtained for ATPS. For 1.0 × 10 4 < M n < 6.0 × 10 4 , it was in accord with [η] toluene,25°C = 5.26 × 10 −2 M n 0.587 . © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
