Abstract

The swelling behavior of pure ureasil and ureasil-chalcogenide glass composites of different history (fresh, aged and thermally heated) was examined using ethyl alcohol. Swelling experiments showed the structure of the network of samples aged for 1 year after preparation has a lower swelling ability compared with pure ureasil as well with the composite, but the effect is more expressed for the pure polymer. In the cases of a thermally heated pure ureasil sample and a more than 5 years after preparation aged sample of the composite, the structure network has practically the same swelling ability as the fresh pure ureasil and the composite samples. It is suggested that one of the factors influencing the swelling is the change of the basic ureasil network due to aging and/or thermal heating.
