In a tetralkoxysilane/alkyltrialkoxysilane system, the hydrolysis and condensation reactions proceed not only between similar precursor molecules but also between the two different precursor species. Figure 8.3 illustrates a simplified scheme of hydrolysis and condensafion reactions in a hybrid system containing TMOS and an alkyltrimethoxysilane. Notice the difference from the scheme in Figure 8.1 the alkyl group, represented by R, does not participate in the hydrolysis and condensation reactions that lead to the silica monolith. The sol-gel process kinetics in a hybrid sol-gel... 

The kinetics of the immobibzation of a NA onto a polymeric gel depends in part upon the diffusion of the probe through the gel structure. The rate of this process is determined by the viscosity of the gel and the possible nonspecific interactions that occur between the NA and the polymeric matrix. On the contrary, considering planar substrates, NAs have direct access to the surface active groups for their attachment and the immobibzation process proceeds more rapidly. The same principles are relevant when considering the hybridization and washing processes involved in using these materials in applications. These are generally slower when diffusion of the reactants comes into play in gel systems.

Hybridization in a plastic bag requires 5 to 10 ml avidin-biotin-enzyme solution. Membrane strips require 5 to 10 ml/strip, whereas blots from standard-sized gels (i.e., 14 x 16 cm) require 50 ml for convenient handling in a tray. 

Exposure of DNA in gels to UV light to fragment the DNA prior to transfer or after transfer to cross-link the DNA to the membrane appears to reduce the ability of the DNA to hybridize.39 Moreover, nylon membranes that were UV-treated to cross-link transferred DNA lost target DNA after repeated stripping of probe DNA and rehybridization.85 Hence, we recommend baking the blot in vacuo. 

This chapter will not belabor in great detail the synthesis and structure-property behavior of those systems that have been prepared within our laboratory. Rather, some of the basic concepts involved in preparing these hybrid sol-gel materials will be reviewed. An overview of methods, including those routes taken by other researchers, will be presented. However, greater emphasis will be given to those materials that we have prepared, primarily because only limited structure-property studies have been carried out by other workers in the field. Further details of our studies on many of the hybrid materials (initially denoted as ceramers ) can be found elsewhere (i-9).
