Abstract
Summary: Organicβinorganic nanocomposite hybrid coatings were prepared through a dualβcure process involving cationic photopolymerization of a hyperbranched epoxy functionalized resin and subsequent condensation of an alkoxysilane inorganic precursor. All the formulations investigated gave rise to photocured films characterized by high gel content values. An increase in glass transition temperature and an increase in storage modulus above T~g~ in the rubbery plateau is observed with increasing TEOS content in the photocurable formulation. The important role of GPTS on reducing the inorganic domain size and avoiding macroscopic phase separation was demonstrated by TEM analyses.

Organosoluble polyimide/silica hybrid materials were prepared using the sol-gel process. The organosoluble polyimide was based on pyromellitic anhydride (PMDA) and 4,4Π-diamino-3,3Π-dimethyldiphenylmethane (MMDA). The silica particle size in the hybrid is increased from 100 -200 nm for the hybrid co
