Abstract
Abstract Here, we report on the synthesis of a silica nanoparticle (NP)-reinforced oligosiloxane nanohybrid material (SM-nanocomposite) and demonstrate its properties as a robust transparent hard coating material for various applications. The oligosiloxane (MMO) resin as a matrix was synthesized using methyl and methacryl silanes via a hydrolytic sol-gel condensation. The silica NPs with various sizes (12, 20 and 60 nm) as nanofillers were also synthesized through a hydrolytic sol-gel condensation, and the surface of NPs was organically modified with methyl and methacryl functions, which allowed stable dispersion and chemical cross-linking of the NPs with MMO matrix. In this work, we introduce synthetic steps of the nanocomposite and discuss the optical, morphological, thermal and mechanical properties of the composite.
