High organic group content-periodic mesoporous organosilicas (HO-PMO's)

摘要

The present invention provides a new class of organic/inorganic hybrid materials having [ER]_n rings interconnected by E′ atoms. In an embodiment a class of materials called high organic group content periodic mesoporous organosilicas (HO-PMO's) with [SiR]₃ rings interconnected by O atoms is described. The measured dielectric, mechanical and thermal properties of the materials suggest that an increased organic content achieved by the [SiR]₃ rings of a high organic group content periodic mesoporous organosilica leads to superior materials properties potentially useful for a wide range of applications including microelectronics, separation, catalysis, sensing, optics or electronic printing.
