Lecture 6 Hybrid POSS Class 1B: inorganic phase is made in-situ in organic continuous phase. in situ means “in place”
Making Hybrid Materials: Class 1B (in situ particle growth) Ideally, no Solvent except for monomer(s) No solvent with low tg organic polymers or in polymer melts (< 100 °C) or if monomer will is soluble in polymer. Otherwise solvent may be used to mix before casting.
Preparation by dissolving inorganic monomer in solid organic polymer then polymerizing to form particles
Preparation by mixing inorganic monomer with liquid organic polymer & hydrolysis & condensation
Preparation by mixing inorganic monomer with solid organic polymer and allowing particles to form Monomer polymerizes & forms particles Silica-Nafion materials made this way are looked at later in lecture
Polymers used in class 1B systems • Elastomers: silicone, polybutadiene, polyisoprene • Thermoplastics: polyurethanes, polycarbonates, polyvinylalcohol, polyacrylates, polysulfones, polyethylene oxide (PEO), polypropylene oxide (PPO) • Thermosets: epoxies • Polyionomers: Nafion
Review of polymerizations 1) hydrolysis & condensation of M(OR)nor RSi(OR’)3 2) Reduction of metal compound 3) sulfidation of cations 4) photochemical or thermal decomposition
Hydrolysis & condensation of M(OR)n: the monomers Silicon: Si(OR)4 or R’Si(OR)3 Aluminum: Al(OR)3 or AlCl3 6H2O Transition metals: Mz(OR)n or MzCln hH2O z = oxidation number for metal n = number of alkoxide or halide in monomer h = number of coordinating waters
Hydrolysis & condensation of Si(OR)4 Catalyzed by acids (HCl,HNO3) or bases (NH3 aq, NaOH) or fluoride.
Particles from hydrolysis & condensation of Si(OR)4 • Typically leads to amorphous spherical particles (not quartz) • Can template particles with ordered mesopores with surfactants • Stober synthesis from TEOS with NH3 and water gives monodisperse particles • Emulsion polymerization (water in oil) gives monodisperse particles • Other preps give polydisperse particles
Particles from hydrolysis & condensation of RSi(OR)3 • Typically leads to amorphous spherical particles • Not as easy to prepare particles as with silica • Can template particles with ordered mesopores with surfactants • Stober synthesis from TEOS with NH3 and water affords polydisperse particles • Emulsion polymerization (two step) gives monodisperse particles
Hydrolysis & Condensation of Mz(OR)n to form MOn/2 M = Al, B, Ti, Zr, Cr, Fe….. Hydrolysis: formation of monomeric MOH species Condensation: formation of “oxo” (neutral) M-O-M higher charge & higher pH More reactive, but too high shuts down condensation
Hydrolysis & Condensation of Mz(OR)n to form MOn/2 Olation: formation of “oxo” (neutral) M-O-M olation >> oxolation
Particles from hydrolysis & condensation of M(OR)n • Particles may be amorphous or crystalline • Some amorphous particles will crystallize with time. • Stober synthesis from TEOS with NH3 and water does not work • Emulsion polymerization (water in oil) gives monodisperse particles • Many more molecular clusters are available through olation chemistry

Templating with triblock copolymer is formally a Class 1B material Polymer is template. After removal, silica remains
Class 1B: In situ formation of inorganic phases in polymers • Method for mixing at nanoscale without mechanical blending required-less chance for aggregation and segregation to occur (steric stabilization) • Raises modulus and strength of materials • In situ polymerization of inorganics selectively in blocks of block copolymers-first step to biomimetic mineralization.
