Abstract:
1. A organic-inorganic nanocomposite material comprising an inorganic metal oxide matrix interpenetrating with an organic polymeric phase, the inorganic metal oxide matrix and the organic polymeric phase comprising products of a reaction mixture comprising: a) a metal alkoxide component of the formula wherein M is a metal; wherein R is selected from the group consisting of -alkyl, -alkoxy, -acryl, -methacryl, -alkenyl, -cycloalkyl, -heterocyclyl, -aryl, -heteroaryl, -alkylene-cycloalkyl, -cycloalkylene-alkyl, -alkylene-aryl, -alkylene-heteroaryl, -arylene-alkyl, -heteroarylene-alkyl, -alkylene-acryl, and -alkylene-methacryl; wherein R′ is -alkyl; and wherein x is 1, 2 or 3 and m is 3 or 4; (b) an unsaturated organic acid component; (c) a dehydration component comprising an anhydride of an unsaturated organic acid; and (d) a free radical initiator component; wherein the organic-inorganic nanocomposite material is solid and comprises greater than about 85% by weight of the reaction mixture.
