Description:
<jats:p>Hybrid organic-inorganic nanocomposites can be prepared by the sol-gel process. An attribute of the sol-gel process is that organic and inorganic components can be linked together on the nanoscale through chemical reactions at room temperature. Functionalized siloxanes can be mixed and reacted to form nanocomposites with a wide range of mechanical, optical and dielectric properties.</jats:p>
