Abstract: | In the last twenty years sol-gel science has undergone a spectacular development. The various stages of the sol-gel process
have been scrutinised in considerable detail and a sound basis for future technological developments established. In the beginning
the studies centred mainly on silica and silicate glasses and were progressively extended to many ceramics and composites.
A turning point was reached with the emergence of ormosils and of organic-inorganic nanocomposites. This opened the gateway
to whole classes of new materials. The present studies show a definite tendency towards very specialised high-tech applications. |
