Abstract: | Organic–inorganic hybrid materials have been used as fillers to reinforce dental resin composites, which require strengthening
to improve their performance in large stress-bearing applications such as crowns and multiple-unit restorations. Homogeneous
organic–inorganic hybrid materials with high performance were prepared by mixing 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTS)
and tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) synthesized by the sol–gel route. The matrix was prepared by hydrolyzing and condensing
the TEOS and MPTS, using basic catalysis and excess water. The resulting xerogel was treated at 50, 100, 150, and 200 °C for
4 h, and the structure was analyzed by thermogravimetry (TG/DTA), photoluminescence (PL), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR
29Si and 13C), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR), and Raman spectroscopy. The PL spectra displayed the
Eu3+ lines characteristic of 5D0 → 7FJ (J = 0, 1, 2, 3, 4) ions, and the blue emission was ascribed to the silica matrix. TG, MNR and infrared spectroscopy analyses indicated the hybrid
silica was stable, with the organic part present up to 150 °C. Increasing the temperature of the heat treatment was found
to increase the degree of hydrolysis. The size and morphology of the silica particles were identified by TEM. |
