Abstract:

We report on the synthesis of novel zirconia/silica /thiazole azo dye hybrid materials by a sol–gel process with vinyltriethoxysilane (VTES) as a precursor. The materials were synthesized from zirconium n-propanoxide and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) with thiazole azo dyes, which were synthesized using 2-amino thiazole as the coupling component and then underwent a coupling reaction with the diazonium component p-nitroaniline. Alternatively, the thiazole azo dyes were processed by the hydrolysis–condensation reaction with a constant ratio of VTES and zirconium n-propanoxide and TEOS in appropriate proportions under a catalyst. The structures of these hybrid materials were examined by Fourier transform infrared analysis, 29Si nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray diffraction, and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy.

Keywords:

zirconia, silica, thiazole dyes, hybrid materials.
