Amino-Alcohol Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Sol-Gel Materials Based on an Epoxy Bicyclic Silane: Synthesis and Characterization.

ABSTRACT: Organic-inorganic hybrids (OIHs) are a type of material that can be obtained using the sol-gel process and has the advantages of organic and inorganic moieties in a single material. Polyetheramines have been widely used in the preparation of this type of material, particularly in combination with epoxy-based alkoxysilanes. Nevertheless, epoxyciclohexylethyltrimethoxysilane (ECHETMS) is a promising alkoxysilane with an epoxy terminal group that is quite unexplored. In this work, four novel OIH materials were synthesized using the sol-gel method. The OIHs were based on Jeffamines^® of different molecular weights (D-230, D-400, ED-600, and ED-900), together with ECHETMS. The materials were characterized using multinuclear solid state NMR, FTIR, BET, UV/Vis spectroscopy, EIS, and TGA
