The tremendous interest in the field of waveguide lasers in the past two decades is largely
attributed to the geometry of the gain medium, which provides the possibility to store optical …

In this review hybrid organic–inorganic (HOI) resists as emerging materials alternative to
organic polymers for micro and nanolithography are presented and discussed. In particular …

Photochromic fabrics were prepared by a dip-coating method using a silica sol-gel solution
containing photochromic dyes. The coated fabric showed a rapid photochromic response …

In this study, a novel kind of calcium phosphate-mineralized chitosan/alginate
microscapsules was prepared through a bio-inspired process for efficient encapsulation of …

We investigate here the properties of fast sol-gel for optical bonding. The precursors of the
fast sol-gel material are organically modified alkoxides generating a transparent hybrid …

Silica-based hybrid organic–inorganic (O/I) materials prepared by sol–gel chemistry exhibit
unique chemical and physical properties.(3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) …

LDPE films have been coated with single or bi-layer hybrid coatings formed through sol–gel
reactions in order to improve their thermo-oxidative resistance. Different chemical …

3, 2008.(57) ABSTRACT (51) Int. Cl. The present invention relates to a method for
preparation of an HOIL 2/3(2006.01) ultraviolet (UV)-curable inorganic-organic hybrid resin …

Hybrid materials based on zinc phthalocyanine (ZnPc) and modified silica glass matrix
(Organically Modified Silicate; ORMOSIL) were synthesized by the sol–gel method using …

Hybrid materials comprising inorganic glasses and organic polymers were investigated as
potential replacements for diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A to improve the thermomechanical …
