Synthesis of Inorganic-Organic Hybrids from Metal Alkoxides and Ethyl Cellulose
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Inorganic-organic hybrids were synthesized by the reaction of inorganic species of Ti(OC2H5)4, Nb(OC2H5)5, Ta(OC2H5)5 and Fe(OC2H5)3 with an organic polymer of ethyl cellulose. The studies of FT-IR spectroscopy revealed that M-O-cellulose bonds were formed by the reaction of ethoxy groups of metal ethoxides with hydroxy groups of ethyl cellulose. The dielectric constants of the resulting Ti-O-, Nb-O- and Ta-O-cellulose hybrids were higher than that of ethyl cellulose. The molar magnetic susceptibility of the Fe-O-cellulose hybrid was independent of iron content and was lower than that of Fe(OC2H5)3.
