Abstract

Interpenetrating polymer networks have been synthesized by performing sol-gel chemistry and conventional organic polymerizations in mixtures of the monomers. The organic polymers were acrylates, and the inorganic phase was SiO2 formed by hydrolysis of orthosilicates. Polymerizations were conducted at a variety of relative rates, and the chemistry was designed to allow different amounts of grafting between the components. The morphology was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and small angle neutron and x-ray scattering. Wide variations in morphology were observed depending on the polymerization conditions, ranging from grossly phase separated to dendritic to finely divided structures (at a 100Å size scale). The phases ranged from mixtures of the two components to relatively pure phases. The interface between the phases ranged from very narrow to relatively broad.
