Abstract. Poly (St-MAn-APTES)/silica hybrid materials were successfully prepared from styrene (St), maleic anhydride (MAn) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in the presence of a coupling agent 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES), by freeradical solution polymerization and in situ sol-gel process. The TEOS content varied from 0 to 25 wt%. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and 29 Si nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy were used to characterize the structure of the hybrids (condensed siloxane bonds designated as Q 1 , Q 2 , Q 3 , Q 4 , with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane having mono-, di-, tri, tetra-substituted siloxane bonds designated as T 1 , T 2 and T 3 ). The results revealed that Q 3 , Q 4 and T 3 were the major microstructure elements in forming a network structure. The hybrid materials were also characterized by the methods of solvent extraction, Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) for determining the gel contents, particle size and thermal performance. The results showed that gel contents in the hybrid materials were much higher, the SiO2 phase were well dispersed in the polymer matrix, silicon dioxide existed at nanoscale in the composites, which had excellent thermal stability.
The thermal stability of phosphor materials had long been a bottleneck in their commercialization. Nowadays, cesium lead halide perovskite CsPbBr3 was considered as a potential replacement for the next generation...
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
