Synthesis and characterisations of aminophosphonate styrene–divinylbenzene–silica hybrid materials

The aminophosphonate styrene–divinylbenzene–silica hybrid materials are obtained in two step reactions: synthesis of alkoxysilane containing polymer precursors and preparation of organic/inorganic hybrid materials by sol–gel process. The prepared materials were characterised by infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy.
