Abstract

Transparent BaTiO3 nanoparticle/polymer hybrid was synthesized by polymerization and hydrolysis of barium titanium alkoxide modified with 2-vinyloxyethoxy ligand. Barium alkoxide, titanium alkoxide and 2-vinyloxyethanol were reacted affording a BaTiO3 precursor, which was then hydrolyzed and polymerized to form BaTiO3 particle/polymer hybrids below 100°C. BaTiO3 particles increased in crystallinity with increasing water amount for hydrolysis. The absorption edge of the hybrid film on silica plates shifted to shorter wavelength with decreasing crystallite size. Nano-sized BaTiO3 particle/polymer hybrid polymerized with methyl methacrylate (MMA) was shaped into a transparent and self-standing film with a refractive index of 1.595 at 589 nm.
