Polyphosphazene molecular composites II. In situ polymerizations of titanium, zirconium and aluminum alkoxides

Conference ·
OSTI ID:141628
Metal alkoxides of silicon, titanium, zirconium and aluminum have been used to prepare clear composite films with the etheric phosphazene polymer poly[bis(2-(2-methoxyethoxy)ethoxy)phosphazene] (MEEP). Dynamic mechanical and stress-strain techniques are utilized to evaluate and compare the mechanical properties of the different composites. Despite strong interactions with metal alkoxides, the Tg of MEEP does not shift to higher temperature upon addition of the inorganics. The addition of potassium triflate to the composites resulted in materials with both excellent mechanical properties and increased conductivity.
