Synthesis of silanes with more than three silicon atoms are disclosed (i.e., Si.sub.nH.sub.(2n+2) with n=4-100). More particularly, the disclosed synthesis methods tune and optimize the isomer ratio by selection of process parameters such as temperature, residence time, and the relative amount of starting compounds, as well as selection of proper catalyst. The disclosed synthesis methods allow facile preparation of silanes containing more than three silicon atoms and particularly, the silanes containing preferably one major isomer. The pure isomers and isomer enriched mixtures are prepared by catalytic transformation of silane (SiH.sub.4), disilane (Si.sub.2H.sub.6), trisilane (Si.sub.3H.sub.8), and mixtures thereof.

A silicon-containing polymer which results in a composition that forms a coated film having good adhesive properties to a substrate and does not easily peel off the substrate, a film-forming composition including the polymer, a method for forming a silicon-containing polymer coating using the composition, a method for forming a silica-based coating using the composition, and a production method for the polymer. In a silicon-containing polymer including at least one of poly- or oligo-siloxane chain and poly- or oligo-silane chain in a molecular chain, a group having a silyl group and a sulfide group, which can be subjected to a condensation reaction, is introduced into the molecular chain, for example, by an ene-thiol reaction.

Embodiments of the present disclosure provide a method of manufacturing a metal column using 3D printing technology. The method of manufacturing a metal column includes steps of: creasing a 3D-CAD design for printing the metal column; printing the metal column; pretreating the inner surface of a channel inside the metal column at low temperature; and coating the inner surface of the channel with a stationary phase so that the metal column is capable of separating a gas mixture into components.
