THERMOPLASTIC ORGANIC-INORGANIC HYBRID MATERIAL AND PROCESS FOR PRODUCTION OF THE SAME

摘要

[PROBLMES] To provide an organic-inorganic hybrid material which is excellent in transparency, heat resistance and mechanical strengths and exhibits solubility in solvent, meltability and flowability, and excellent moldability. [MEANS FOR SOLVING PROBLEMS] A thermoplastic organic-inorganic hybrid material obtained by copolymerizing inorganic particles modified with polymerizable functional groups which are prepared by covalently bonding modifying groups having the polymerizable functional groups to hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of inorganic particles with a polymerizable monomer capable of forming a thermoplastic polymer, wherein the modifying groups having polymerizable functional groups are covalently bonded to only part of the hydroxyl groups on the surfaces of the inorganic particles.
