Abstract
The present invention relates to a dispersion of hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposite molecules comprising discrete inorganic silica nanoparticles that are covalently bonded to organic polymers, wherein the dispersion has a high solid content (>30% wt.) and high silica content (>35% wt.) with low coagulum (about 100-400 ppm or about 0.05% wt or less). The hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposite is prepared by (1) hydrolyzing silane monomers at acidic conditions; (2) surface treating inorganic silica nanoparticles with silane monomers; (3) stabilizing the surface-treated inorganic silica nanoparticles with an amine stabilizer; and (4) reacting organic monomers with surface-treated inorganic silica nanoparticles.
