Benzoxazine bearing trimethoxylsilane (BA‐b) was successfully synthesized via Mannich condensation among phenol, paraformaldehyde, and γ‐aminopropyltrimethoxysilane. The hydrolysis and condensation of the BA‐b catalyzed by hydrochloric acid can afford a soluble polysilsesquioxane bearing benzoxazine groups (denoted PSSQ‐b). By initiating the cocuring reaction of PSSQ‐b with difunctional benzoxazine of bisphenol A (BA‐a), the inorganic–organic hybrids of polybenzoxazine with polysilsesquioxane were prepared. The hybrids displayed enhanced T g 's in comparison with the control polybenzoxazine. In terms of initial decomposition temperature ( T d ) and char and ceramic yields, the hybrids exhibited improved thermal stability as shown by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
