Abstract
Summary: An organic‐inorganic hybrid material consisting of a 3‐(methacryloxy)propyl functionalized SiO~2~/MgO framework was synthesized. This hybrid was successfully reacted with styrene, butyl acrylate and butyl methacrylate via a free radical emulsion polymerization to form polymer composites. The polymer composites were investigated by means of FT‐IR spectroscopy, TGA, DSC and rheometry. It is shown that the polymer is linked covalently to the organic/inorganic hybrid. Although the polymer content is rather low, the composites exhibit a polymer‐like character and enhanced mechanical properties compared to the corresponding homopolymers.

## Abstract Novel polyurethane (PU) composites were prepared, based on hybrid inorganic/organic phosphazene‐containing microspheres. The FT‐IR spectra have shown that the microspheres have been linked with PU matrix. The microstructure of the composites is investigated by SEM. In comparison with PU
