Kreisförmige Dimethylsiloxane
Explanation:
The phrase in context expanded is: Dimethyl cyclics (meaning cyclic molecules) with vinyl siloxane, epoxy vinyl siloxane reaction products with dimethyl, methyl hydrogen siloxane with methyl sesquisiloxane. The last word in the phrase is a typo

neutral  Cilian O'Tuama: why do you say silsesquioxane is a typo? // Why can't it be methyl silsesquioxane?

  -> Actually, it is worse than a typo, because it should be sesquisiloxane, not silsesquioxane. There is no such thing as silsesquioxane. I've been involved in organo-silicon chemistry myself

Reference information:
(Dhananjay says there's no such thing...)

Nomenclatures and structures of polyhedral silsesquioxanes
The name “silsesquioxane” derives from the terms ‘sil’ (silicon), ‘sesqui’ (one and a half), and ‘oxane’ (oxygen), which indicate that the ratio of silicon: oxygen atoms is 1:1.5. The full IUPAC naming of silsesquioxane is complicated and burdensome, for example, the full name of (HSiO1.5)8 is pentacyclo[...]octasiloxane.

and Wiki says:
A silsesquioxane is an organosilicon compound with the chemical formula [RSiO3/2]n (R = H, alkyl, aryl or alkoxyl).
