Transparent Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Gels: A Classification Scheme |
|
| Authors: | Anna B. Wojcik L. C. Klein |
| Abstract: | An attempt is made to classify transparent organic/inorganic materials synthesized by the sol–gel process. The chemical structures of the hybrids are the main criteria for this classification. Three main types of organic/inorganic gels are distinguished and their basic physico-chemical characteristics are outlined. © 1997 by John Wiley & Sons, Ltd. |
