The low dielectric constant polymer has the general formula I: (R 1 -R 2 ) n -Si- (X 1 ) 4-n where X 1 is independently selected from hydrogen and an inorganic leaving group, R 2 is an arbitrary group and includes an alkylene or arylene having 1 to 6 carbon atoms, R 1 is a polycycloalkyl group, and n is an integer of 1 to 3). Provided monomer units. The polymer has excellent electrical and mechanical properties. |
