Abstract
Poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET)/silica nanocomposites were fabricated by direct polymerizing PET monomer dispersed with organic modified silica nanoparticles. The characteristics and properties of these nanocomposites were investigated by the transmission electron microscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis, respectively. The results show that (1) the nanoparticles have been well dispersed in the polymer matrix; (2) the addition of nanoparticles can speed up the crystallization and melting point; and (3) the addition has no significant effect on the synthesis process. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract A series of UV‐curable nanocomposites were prepared with 3‐(trimethoxysilyl) propyl methacrylate (MPS) modified nanosilica under the initiation of 2,2‐dimethoxy‐1,2‐diphenylethan‐1‐one. It was found that MPS‐modified nanosilica together with free MPS could form transparent nanocomposite
## Abstract Two unsaturated polyesters (UPs), PME and PMPE, were synthesized by condensation polymerization, and another UP, BPMPE, was prepared from PMPE by blocking of its carboxyl and hydroxyl end groups. Optically transparent UP–silica nanocomposites were prepared by a sol–gel process of alkoxy
## Abstract Colloidal nano‐silica particles were used to improve the scratch and mar resistance of waterborne epoxy coatings by directly blending. To enhance the compatibility of nano‐silica particles within polymer matrix, nano‐silica particles were first modified with 3‐glycidoxypropyl‐trimethoxy
