Organic-inorganic cross-linked structures prepared from reactive n-butyl methacrylate-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate copolymers

The features of formation of organic-inorganic cross-linked structures prepared by copolymerization of n-butyl methacrylate with 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate, followed by hydrolysis of the trimethoxysilane groups of the copolymers and condensation of the resulting silanol groups, were studied. The quantitative composition of the functional groups of the cross-linked copolymers was determined. The physicomechnaical and mechanical properties of the copolymers were studied in relation to the copolymer composition and conditions of hydrolytic condensation.
