China Received 10 October 2003; received in revised form 16 February 2004; accepted 17 February 2004 Abstract Acrylic resin/titania organic–inorganic hybrid materials were prepared by the two approaches. One approach (BL method) was blending titania produced by the sol–gel process with synthesized acrylic resins containing various content of acrylic acid (AA). Another approach (IS method) was the in situ polymerization of acrylic monomers in synthesized titania sols. The structure and mechanical, thermal and optical properties of the hybrid films were investigated by small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA), Instron testing machine, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and ultraviolet–visible spectroscopy (UV–VIS), respectively. Titania phase in the hybrids showed an open structure and nano-scale size. However, aggregation of titania occurred in the systems prepared by IS method or without AA contained. The mechanical properties, thermal stability and UV shielding properties of organic polymer were obviously improved with titania networks embedded. It was foun
