A composite structure based on silylated MCM-41 and Poly (vinyl acetate) (PVAc) was synthesized via solution intercalation. Poly (vinyl acetate)-silylated Si-MCM-41 composite were characterized by XRD, FTIR spectroscopy and 13C CP/MAS NMR in order to determine the compatibility between PVAc and the silicate host. XRD study reveals that the framework of silylated Si-MCM-41 was not altered upon incorporation of PVAc. FTIR study showed that characteristic peak assigned to carbonyl group in PVAc was observed around 1741.6 cm-1 for all the composites indicating the presence of PVAc in the silylated Si-MCM-41. 13C CP/MAS NMR showed the increase of line width of the peak assigned to C=O carbonyl group indicating the increase in randomness of polymer chains in confined space. The shifting of the C=O carbonyl groups is a sign of the change in chemical environment of the carbonyl owing to the interaction of PVAc with the silica matrix of silylated Si-MCM-41.
