Sol-gel production of hybrid materials has, to some extent, revolutionised materials'
engineering and the way science and technology perceive the creation of new materials …

The last two decades have seen a remarkable growth in the design of new hybrid materials
applied to different areas, from photonics to biomaterials, together with new coating …

Hybrid materials have been the object of intense research due to their potential for
biomedical applications as well as in other fields. They are usually prepared by sol–gel but …

Gamma-ray irradiation is well known to promote the crosslinking of polymer chains. The
method is now used by the authors to prepare hybrid materials from a mixture of polymer …

Using a 60Co gamma source polydimethylsiloxane-based materials have been prepared by
gamma-irradiation of a mixture of polydimethylsiloxane, PDMS, silanol-terminated and the …

Gamma-irradiation from a 60Co source was used to prepare hybrid materials from a mixture
of polydimethylsiloxane with tetraethylortosilicate and zirconium propoxide. The obtained …

Due to the different rates of silica alkoxide hydrolysis and furfuryl alcohol polymerization,
hydrophobic poly (furfuryl alcohol) network became incompatible with hydrophilic silica …

Silica based hybrid materials, some containing zirconia, prepared by gamma-irradiation,
were studied by positron annihilation lifetime (PAL) spectroscopy, in the temperature range …

Organic–inorganic materials have been the object of intense research due to their wide
range of properties and therefore innumerous applications. We prepared organic–inorganic …
