Abstract

The polysilicic acid nanoparticle (PN) was modified by the reaction of silanol group on its surface with silyl group (–Si(OR)3) containing modifiers such as phenyltrimethoxylsilane (PTS), 2-(p-styryl)ethyltrimethoxylsilane (SETS), and 3-(trimethoxylsilyl)propyl methacrylate (TPMA), respectively, to afford modified PNs (M-PNs) including P-PN, S-PN, and T-PN. P-PN, S-PN and T-PN were mixed, respectively, with unsaturated polyester resin (UP) in styrene, UP/St, and then let homogeneous solutions cure at 150 °C to produce transparent hybrid materials, UP/St/P-PN, UP/St/S-PN, and UP/St/T-PN. It was found that the M-PNs could not only act as low-profile additives (LPAs) to reduce the shrinkage of the hybrids during curing but also enhance their dynamic mechanical properties. The shrinking mechanism of the hybrids during curing and the interfacial force between M-PNs and UP/St matrix, which plays an important role in shrinking control and properties of hybrid, were studied in detail.
