The blends of poly(hydroxyether of bisphenol A) (phenoxy) and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were prepared through in situ polymerization, i.e., the melt polymerization of diglycidy ether of bisphenol A (DGEBA) and bisphenol A in the presence of PVAc. The polymerization reaction started from the initial

✦ Synopsis
Abstract
The in situ polymerization of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) in poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) yields homogeneous and transparent nanocomposite materials. It was shown that covalent bonds occur between the organic chains and the inorganic clusters, preventing macroscopic phase separation. For an initial amount of TEOS higher than a critical value, gel formation is observed. Up to this critical TEOS content, improved mechanical properties, which persist at high temperatures, are obtained.
