Phenolic novolac/silica and cresol novolac epoxy/silica hybrids were prepared through in situ sol‐gel reaction of tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The formed hybrids were utilized as a curing agent and an epoxy resin in epoxy curing compositions, respectively. Via the two‐step preparation route, the resulting epoxy resin/silica hybrid nanocomposites exhibited good thermal stability, high glass transition temperatures, and low coefficients of thermal expansion. High condensation degree of the condensed silica was observed with a high content of siloxane bridges, p > 85%, measured by 29 Si NMR. The two‐step route also provides feasibility of preparation of epoxy resin/silica hybrid nanocomposites compatible with the current processes of manufacturing of epoxy molding compounds. © 2003 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
