B:\BBBl-2.ff ORGANOSILICON COMPOSITIONS Abstract of the Disclosure A crosslinked organosilicon polymer or crosslinkable organosilicon prepolymer comprising: (A) alternating (a) cyclic polysiloxane or tetrahedral siloxysilane residues and (b) polycyclic hydrocarbon residues derived from polycyclic polyenes having at least two non-aromatic, non-conjugated carbon-carbon double bonds in their rings linked through carbon to silicon bonds, wherein at least one of the cyclic polysiloxanes or tetrahedral siloxysilanes (a) or the polycyclic polyenes (b) used to form the polymer or prepolymer has more than two reactive sites; (B) up to 85%, by weight, filler; characterized in that it further comprises (C) at least one reaction rate modifier selected comprises (C) at least one reaction rate modifier selected from the group consisting of alkyl diamines, alkyl triamines, alkyl tetraamines and alkyl pentaamines. The invention is also directed to a prepreg which comprises fibrous reinforcement and a crosslinkable organosilicon prepolymer, said crosslinkable organosilicon prepolymer comprising alternating residues of the following, linked through carbon to silicon bonds: (a) at least one silicon compound selected from the group consisting of cyclic polysiloxanes and tetrahedral siloxysilanes; and (b) at least one polycyclic polyene having at least two non- aromatic, non-conjugated carbon carbon double bonds in its rings; wherein at least one of (a) and (b) has more than two reactive sites; characterized in that the minimum viscosity of said prepreg occurs at a temperature of at least 105°C; and laminates made therewith. In addition, the invention is directed to a process for controlling the viscosity profile of a prepreg prepolymer, comprising addition of at least one reaction rate modifier to said prepolymer. Preferably, the temperature at which the minimum viscosity of said prepreg prepolymer occurs is raised. Most preferably, said process comprises modifying the viscosity profile of a first prepreg prepolymer substantially to match the viscosity profile of a second prepreg prepolymer, comprising addition of an amount of at least one reaction rate modifier to said first prepreg prepolymer which will cause the minimum viscosity of said first prepreg prepolymer to occur at substantially the same temperature as the minimum viscosity of said second prepreg prepolymer.
