Abstract

The mechanical properties corresponding to the different structures of organically modified silicates (Ormosils) prepared by the sol-gel process were studied. Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and polydimethyl siloxane (PDMS) were used as the inorganic and polymeric components, respectively. Large variations in the microstructure of the Ormosils were found by changing the reaction temperature, and the content of PDMS, acid catalyst (HCI),and water. The structure of the Ormosils and the mechanical properties were correlated by the edge connectivity. Modulus of elasticity and fracture strength were used to study their relations Ormosils structures.
