Abstract

ABSTRACT The modification of the rate or formation of interpenetrant simultaneous inorsjanic-organic (SIPIN) networks of poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc)-SiO; was studied. The P(VAc) network was formod by radical polymerization with benzoyl peroxide in the presence of a crosslinked monomer, diethylen glycol bis maleate. SiO: network was obtained by sol-gel reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) catalyzed by radical polymeriznble acids: maleic acid (MA) and acrylic acid (AA) The reaction medium was the ethylic alcohol-water mixture. The formation rate of SIPIN depends on the ratio of initial organic over aqueous phases in case of caialysis by MA. The yelling limes for MA are higher than those for AA. This behavior inversely proponional to the acid strength is assigned to the selective interaction of the acids wiih the hydrocarbonated or aqueous zone of initial systems. Crotonic acid (CrA) is partitioned in the hydrocarbonate zone where TEOS also lies The glass transition temperature of organic network, P(VAc) increases with the increase of crosslinking agent concentration. It is higher in the network prepared in presence of MA owing to the higher number of hydrogen bonds induced by COOH.
