Abstract

The preparation of an organic/inorganic polymer hybrid from a novolac derivatives is described. The hybrid was prepared by the acid-catalyzed solgel reaction of phenyl-trimethoxysilane (PhTMOS) in the presence of anisole novolac. The resulting film was transparent and showed a high heat stability. The dispersion of two components might be due to the utilization of the p-p interaction between the phenyl ring of the silica matrix and that of novolac. This makes it possible to prepare a hybrid glass having a highly content of novolac derivatives.
