Hybrid inorganic-organic polymers based on organically modified Si-alkoxides--variability on a molecular level

Hybrid materials have found widespread applications in recent years and are one example for the bottom-up approach to nanotechnology: materials and phases are generated by physical or chemical means from precursor compounds forming nanoscale or nanocomposite materials.

Description
Summary:Hybrid materials have found widespread applications in recent years and are one example for the bottom-up approach to nanotechnology: materials and phases are generated by physical or chemical means from precursor compounds forming nanoscale or nanocomposite materials. This review describes basic principles and several applications of inorganic-organic polymers using organically crosslinked heteropolysiloxanes (ORMOCERs) based on the sequential synthesis of inorganic and organic networks.
