Abstract
Hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) monomer in different contents was used in the preparation of transparent organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel ma trices. The matrices were studied by analytical techniques before and after irradiation. An increase in the homogeneity of the composite mat erial after the irradiation of HEMA, and a chemical linkage of the mon omer with the surface has been observed. Photopolymerization processes were studied by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Details of t he irradiation times, polymerization rates, and DSC related parameters of HEMA in the sol-gel matrices are reported. (C) 1996 John Wiley & S ons, Inc.
