Abstract
The flexural strength and the flexural modulus of inorganic-organic hybrid polymers obtained by sol-gel processing and subsequent light-induced polyme rization of bis-[(methacryloyloxy)propoxycarbonylethyl)](3-triethoxysilyl)p ropylamine or (1,3(2)-bis-methacryloyloxypropyl)(3-triethoxysilylpropylamin ocarbonyl)butyrate is enhanced by copolymerization with 10 wt % of the meth acrylate-substituted oxozirconium cluster Zr4O2(OMC)(12). The mechanical pr operties of the cluster-cross-linked hybrid polymers do not deteriorate upo n water storage at 37 degreesC.
