Abstract

A process for the preparation of 1-monoalkyl(C.sub.1 -C.sub.4) dimethylsilyl-1-propyne polymers which comprises polymerizing a 1-monoalkyl (C.sub.1 -C.sub.4)dimethylsilyl-1-propyne monomer in the presence of a compound of a transition metal and a member selected from .alpha.,.omega.-dihydropolydialkylsiloxanes and polyalkylhydrosiloxanes in a solvent inert to the polymerization. The polymerization reaction proceeds at low temperatures in an efficient manner. Membranes of the resultant polymer have a high gas transmission and suffer but little degradation when placed under severe temperature conditions.
