Abstract

AbstractIn the synthesis of inorganic-organic hybrids from metal alkoxides and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES), metal alkoxides were found to influence the phenyl siloxane network formation. The presence of metal alkoxides in the initial stage of hydrolysis and condensation of PTES promote the formation of phenyl siloxane networks to provide a dense hybrid. However, the presence of metal alkoxides in the stage of hydrolyzed PTES provide a loose structure of phenyl siloxane networks involving a number of silanol groups.
