Abstract
A composite has repeating domains of an inorganic glass and a polymer, such that the inorganic glass and the polymer each have a glass transition temperature (Tg) or softening temperature of less than 450° C., and at least 50% of the inorganic glass domains have a length of less than 30 μm as measured along at least one cross-sectional dimension.
Claims18
A composite having repeating domains of an inorganic glass and a polymer,
- wherein the inorganic glass and the polymer each have a glass transition temperature (Tg) or softening temperature of less than 450° C.,
- wherein at least 50% of the inorganic glass domains have a length of less than 30 μm as measured along at least one cross-sectional dimension,
- wherein at least one of the inorganic glass domains comprises a plurality of cylindrical filaments having a diameter in a range of 50 nm to 400 nm separated by a continuous polymer domain, and
- the composite has 50% or more of the inorganic glass by volume of the composite.
