Invented less than a decade ago,1 EISA has rapidly developed into a universal technique for fabrication of organized porous and patterned nanocomposite materials, ranging from metal oxides and chalcogenides to carbons, polymers, and metals.2,3 In addition to generating ordered mesoporous films, this technique may also be used to incorporate functional molecules and...

Metal-organic nanocomposite materials are interesting from the point of view of the bottom-up approach to building future electronic devices. The ability of the organic parts of the composite materials to identify and latch on to other organic molecules is the basis for the possible self assembly of nanoscale devices, while the metallic components provide mechanical robustness and improve the electrical conductance. 

Beside the production of pure Si3N4, the gas phase processes are used for the preparation of Si3N4/SiC composite powders used for nanocomposite materials [210, 222, 223]. For the production of such complex powders different kinds of evaporable Si organic compounds are used, e.g., hexamethyldisilazane. 

By analogy with the works which dealt with cellulose micro crystal-reinforced nanocomposite materials, microcrystals of starch [95] or chitin [96, 97] were used as a reinforcing phase in a polymer matrix. Poly(styrene-co-butyl acrylate) [95,96], poly(e-caprolactone) [96], and natural rubber [97] were reinforced, and again the formation of aggregates or clustering of the fillers within the matrices was considered to account for the improvement in the mechanical properties and thermal stability of the respective composites processed from suspensions in water or suitable organic solvents.

Brinker et al. developed a simple evaporation-induced self-assembly (EISA) process that allows the rapid production of patterned porous or nanocomposite materials in the form of films, fibers, or spheres. Starting from a homogeneous solution of soluble silica and surfactant below the critical micellar concentration, evaporation of ethanol increased surfactant concentration, driving self-assembly of silica-surfactant micelles and their further organization.

Traditionally, nanocomposite materials have been developed using solution based (sol-gel) or by sputtering. It was not possible to deposit organic-inorganic nanocomposites by...
