Abstract
Novel organic–inorganic hybrid films were synthesized by the reaction of hydroxylated castor oil (HCO) with titanium(IV) isopropoxide (TIP) in which the mass proportions of organic to inorganic precursor varied from 95:5 to 85:15. Films were pre-cured at room temperature under an inert atmosphere and subsequently submitted to thermal curing. The macro- and microscopic properties of the films, including adhesion, hardness, microstructure (SEM and AFM) and thermal properties, were determined as a function of the proportion of HCO to TIP. Morphologic studies showed that the hybrid films were microscopically homogeneous. The hardness and tensile strength of the films increased, with increased concentration of inorganic precursor. All of the films exhibited good adhesion to an aluminum surface.
