Summary Formation of an interpenetrating polymer network (IPN) composed of organic polymer gel and silica gel in the form of polymer hybrids was conducted by utilizing the photodimerization of thymine bases. Thymine-modified poly(2-methyl-2-oxazoline) (POZO-T) was synthesized by the condensation reaction of partially hydrolyzed polyoxazoline and 1-(2-carboxyethyl)thymine. Organic-inorganic polymer hybrids were prepared from POZO-T and tetramethoxysilane (TMOS). Transparent and homogeneous polymer hybrids could be obtained. The photodimerization and the reverse reaction of thymine in the polymer hybrids were monitored by the UV absorption spectroscopy.
