Hybrid Sol−Gel-Derived Polymers: Applications of Multifunctional Materials

摘要: The homogeneous combination of inorganic and organic moieties in a single-phase material provides unique possibilities to tailor the mechanical, electrical, optical properties with respect numerous applications. synthetic pathway follows well-known sol−gel procedure. Nevertheless, establishment defined hybrid products necessitates basic understanding underlying chemistry as well parameters influencing processing techniques. Modern spectroscopy versatile tools, e.g., multinuclear NMR experiments Raman scattering investigate organo(alkoxy)silanes their co-condensation reactions main group or transition metal alkoxides copolymerization each other molecules. This almost infinite modular design concept has led industrial application coatings for transparent plastics, glasses, metals prevent these substrates from mechanical abrasion, permeation, co...
