Sol-gel technique is particularly interesting due to possibility of the organic-inorganic composite material production, which porous structure ensures high solid<->liquid and solid<->gas contact surface. 

Organic-inorganic composite material in which one of the components is a clay, the particles of which are dispersed in a polymer.

Some of the sugar- and peptide-based vesicles described in the previous chapter have been used for very few applications in the field of life science (as carriers for drug, genes, etc. or as bioreactors) and for the fabrication of organic/inorganic composite materials (encapsulation of inorganic nanoparticles). 

Polymers are versatile building blocks for the synthesis of structured or-ganic/inorganic composite materials [66], Biohybrid or polypeptide-based vesicles, however, have scarcely been used for this purpose, only for the production or encapsulation of nanoparticles.

In making ion exchange membranes, it is also important to consider the materials that the support membrane is composed of. The most common materials that are used to produce ion exchange membranes are organic polymers, such as poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene), poly (propylene), poly(ethylene), etc. It is also possible to utilize organic-inorganic composite materials to form the membrane material. These are...

A promising route to membranes of improved transport characteristics consists in incorporation of inorganic additives with suitable structure (e.g., zeolites, carbon molecular sieves, microporous silica) into polymer matrix [17]. Some of polymer-inorganic composite materials showed much higher permeabilities but similar or even improved selectivity...
