To attain the narrow bezel characteristic of information displays, functional sealing composite materials should possess high adhesion strength and water barrier performance due to their narrow line widths. In this study, highly adhesive UV/heat dual-curable epoxy–acrylate composites with outstanding water-resistant performance have been proposed using photoreactive organic–inorganic hybrid nanoparticles that can react with an acrylate resin, creating a crosslinked nanoparticle network within the sealing composite. The hybrid nanoparticles consisted of reactive methacrylate groups as a shell and an inorganic core of silica or aluminum oxide, and were facilely synthesized through sol–gel reaction and chemisorption process. The curing characteristics, adhesive strength, and moisture permeability of the proposed sealing composite have been compared to those of a conventional epoxy–acrylate composite containing inorganic silica particles. The composites including hybrid nanoparticles exhibited high UV and heat curing ratios owing to the numerous methacrylate groups on the nanoparticle surface and high compatibility with organic resins. Moreover, the proposed sealing composite showed high adhesion strength and extremely low water permeability due to the creation of densely photocrosslinked network with matrix resins. In addition, the sealing composite exhibited excellent narrow dispensing width as well as relatively low viscosity, suggesting the potential application in narrow bezel display.

Novel hybrid biomaterial of gelatin-siloxane nanoparticles (GS NPs), with positive surface potential and lower cytotoxicity, was synthesized through a 2-step sol-gel process. The pDNA-GS NPs complex was formulated with high encapsulation efficiency, and exhibited and efficient transfection in vitro. We thus envision that the GS NPs material could serve as non-viral gene vectors for gene therapy.

ABSTRACTIt is important to develop flexible transparent polymer films having high gas barrier properties and abrasion resistance because new applications involving transparent polymer films for flat panel displays require these properties. We report on organic-inorganic hybrid coatings of polyvinylalcohol (PVA)/polyacrylicacid (PAA)-silica, which have high gas barrier properties almost equivalent to those achieved by the dry coating process. The hybrid coatings were prepared by the sol-gel reaction of alkoxysilane in a PVA/PAA aqueous solution. In order to obtain transparent coating films, 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMOS) was used as a compatibilizer in the sol-gel reaction of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS). No structure could be seen in the TEM of the cross-sectional coating layer, indicating that polymers and silica were mixed homogeneously. PVA/PAA-silica hybrid coatings were shown to have excellent abrasion resistance based on the ΔHaze index. O2 permeability of PVA/PAA-silica hybrid coatings evaluated by MOCON under the conditions of 23°C, 90% RH was lower than that of PVA/PAA polymer coating, which suggests that silica affects the barrier property of the hybrid coating in humid conditions. Furthermore, O2 permeability decreased as silica content increased in the coatings. Unexpectedly, high gas barrier properties appeared when the silica content exceeded 50 wt%. From the result of element distribution analysis measured by EF-TEM, it was confirmed that phase separation occurred between PVA/PAA and silica on a nanometer scale and silica forms continuous structures, which are considered to suppress O2 permeability.

The Pechini method has been used as a synthetic route for obtaining self-assembling magnetic and plasmonic nanoparticles in hybrid silica nanostructures. This manuscript evaluates the influence of shaking conditions, reaction time, and pH on the size and morphology of the nanostructures produced. The characterization of the nanomaterials was carried out by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) to evaluate the coating and size of the nanomaterials, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) transmission spectra to evaluate the presence of the different coatings, and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) curves to determine the amount of coating. The results obtained show that the best conditions to obtain core–satellite nanostructures with homogeneous silica shells and controlled sizes (<200 nm) include the use of slightly alkaline media, the ultrasound activation of silica condensation, and reaction times of around 2 hours. These findings represent an important framework to establish a new general approach for the click chemistry assembling of inorganic nanostructures.

Over the past decades, organic-inorganic hybrid polymers have been applied in different fields, including the adsorption of pollutants from wastewater and solid-state separations. In this review, firstly, these compounds are classified. These compounds are prepared by sol-gel method, self-assembly process (mesopores), assembling of nanobuilding blocks (e.g., layered or core-shell compounds) and as interpenetrating networks and hierarchically structures. Lastly, the adsorption characteristics of heavy metals of these materials, including different kinds of functional groups, selectivity of them for heavy metals, effect of pH and synthesis conditions on adsorption capacity, are studied.

The organic-inorganic hybrid nanocomposites were successfully obtained by the sol-gel process with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as an inorganic networking precursor and 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) as the nonsurfactant template in the presence of benzil initiator. The characteristics of the obtained hybrid were examined by means of TGA, FTIR, SEM, and TEM. The synthesized HEMA/SiO2 hybrid was nearly transparent, monolithic, and monodispersed with the average size of 25 nm. It was found that the hybrid structure could be defined by intertwining organic and inorganic polymeric networks.

This work successfully prepared an UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid material consisting of organic modified colloidal silica. Applications of UV curable organic-inorganic hybrid materials include abrasion resistant coatings, photo-patternable thin films and waveguides. Colloidal silica containing reactive functional groups were also prepared by reacting organic silane and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) using sol-gel process. In addition, the efficiency of grafting organic moiety onto silica nanoparticles was investigated by applying TGA and FTIR techniques. Experimental results indicated a strong interdependence between surface modification efficiency and solution pH. Acrylate-SiO2 hybrid formation could result in a shifting of thermal degradation temperature of organic component from about 200°C to near 400°C. In addition, the stability of organic modified colloidal silica in UV curable formula and the physical properties of resulting coatings were discussed. Furthermore, the morphology of organic modified colloidal silica was investigated by performing TEM and SEM studies‥
