A 2-cyanoethyl-containing organoxysilane compound having the formula: NC—CH 2 —CH 2 —X—Si(OR 1 ) 3 is heat resistant and compatible with organic solvents. R 1 is a C 1 -C 20 monovalent hydrocarbon group, and X is a C 2 -C 20 divalent hydrocarbon group which contains a methylene and/or methine moiety, at least one of the methylene and methine moieties being substituted with a divalent heteroatom linking moiety NR (wherein R is hydrogen, C 1 -C 20 monovalent hydrocarbon group or 2-cyanoethyl), a trivalent heteroatom linking moiety N, or a combination thereof. |
