Abstract
The condensation reaction of 3-methacryloxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (MPTS) and diisobutylsilanediol (DIBSD) in a non-hydrolytic sol-gel process was investigated in terms of the reaction time and the catalyst amount for fabrication of inorganic-organic hybrid materials. The degree of condensation, which was characterized by 29Si NMR, 1H NMR and Abbe refractometry, increases with increased the reaction time and greater catalyst amount. However, a the large catalyst amount breaks the methacryl group during the condensation reaction. Thus, the reaction time and the catalyst amount were optimized to synthesize the condensed methacryl oligosiloxanes.
