POLYMERS 2021 28 VIRTUAL EVENT Theme: "Enlightening the Advancements in the fields of Polymer Science, Chemistry and Nanotechnology" The analysis of the variables involved in the synthesis of polymeric materials, as well as their impact on the final properties of the material, are of great importance. This knowledge is the basis for the design and development of advanced polymers with a wider range of applications. The response to these variables may depend on the nature of the monomers involved, therefore their convergence can become a challenge during the development of hybrid materials. Such is the case of silica (Si) and resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) polymers, which have been developed in different systems (i.e., alcoholand waterbased). The use of reactants that stabilize the mixture and promote rapid polymerization has made it possible to obtain RF-Si hybrids from an alcohol-based solution [1]. However, this strategy increases production costs, which prevents its further commercialization. This work evaluates the use of a hydro-alcoholic precursor solution. In addition, the effect of ethanol content and their interaction with the different species (i.e. organic and inorganic monomers) is evaluated in the mixture and separately. The ethanol content was shown to influence the homogeneity of the mixture, the synthesis time and the final properties of the materials. This design variable, together with those already known (i.e., pH, dilution ratio, molar ratios, etc.), enhances the versatility and control in the production of RF-Si polymers. Taking that into account, a one-pot and fast synthesis of versatile polymers materials is possible by microwave heating. This approach provides greater scope for these materials in applications such as catalysis, separation or electrochemistry.

Villanueva1, Natalia Rey-Raap2, Lucía dos Santos-Gómez2 and Ana Arenillas1 Biography Samantha Flores was born in Colima, Mexico in 1990. After finishing her studies in Biochemical Engineering at the Technological Institute of the same city in 2014, she moved to Aguascalientes, where she studied a Master of Science in Chemical Engineering. In 2016, she began her working life in the company Carbotecnia (Guadalajara, Mexico), dedicated to the manufacture of active carbon and the commercialization of products for water treatment. In this period, she had the opportunity to collaborate within the acquisition and the technical departments, dedicating the last year of this experience to the development of projects, installing and commissioning. She is currently a PhD student, collaborating within the research groupMCAT at INCAR-CSIC (Spain). 1Instituto de Ciencia y Tecnología del Carbono INCAR-CSIC, Spain 2Department of Physical and Analytical Chemistry, Oviedo University-CINN-CSIC, Spain
