The (3‐methacryloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (MPMS) capped acrylic resin/alumina hybrid materials with highly homogeneous structure were successfully prepared by in situ sol–gel process. The effects of the contents of alumina, ethylacetoacetate (EAA), and water as well as the types of catalyst on the structures and properties of the hybrid materials were studied. It was found that the T g , thermal stability, microhardness, and Young's modulus of the hybrid materials were obviously improved with increasing alumina and water contents, low EAA content, and catalyst employed.
