Abstract
Weak interfacial interaction between organic matrix and inorganic particles poses immense challenges for the application of organic/inorganic composites in science and technology. This article systematically studied the influence of adhesion promoters' structure on interfacial properties of organic/inorganic nanocomposites. The structure of adhesion promoters was designed to differ in polymerizable group, charged group and chain length. Silica and polymethyl methacrylate were selected as inorganic nanoparticles and organic matrix, respectively. Our study shows adhesion promoter with charged group, polymerizable group as well as hexyl chain has the best ability to improve the interfacial adhesion of organic/inorganic nanocomposites. This study provides a new insight into choosing adhesion promoters for organic/inorganic nanocomposites with desired interfacial properties.
