Summary
Organic-inorganic polymer hybrids from various organic polymers such as poly(ethylene oxide) and poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone) were prepared with the assistance of microwave heating. With the 500 W, 2.45 GHz of microwave irradiation, the formation of polymer hybrids was accelerated. The obtained polymer hybrids were optically transparent and no phase separation was observed. From the SEM images and IR spectra of the obtained polymer hybrids, the composition and the properties of the polymer hybrids synthesized with microwave heating were found to be mostly the same as that synthesized with conventional heating.
