Hybrid nanocomposite materials―between inorganic glasses and organic polymers

TL;DR: The sol-gel process, with its associated mild conditions, offers a new approach to the synthesis of composite materials with domain sizes approaching the molecular level as mentioned in this paper, where transparent organic-inorganic composites can be prepared by dissolving preformed polymers into solgel precursor solutions and then allowing the tetraalkyi orthosilicates to hydrolyze and condense to form glassy SiO, phases of different morphological structures.
