We made the hypothesis that the structures of these polymers are amorphous. Computational results regarding the total electronic energy and experimental data [1] on the toughness of these three hybrid polymers were compared. A good qualitative agreement was found between computations and experiments %G English %L hal-00486201 %U https://hal.science/hal-00486201 %~ CNRS %~ UNIV-MONTP2 %~ GES %~ UNIV-MONTPELLIER %~ UM1-UM2
