These results demonstrate that, in analogy to the multidomain proteins in biosili-cification, triblock copolymers can direct the assembly of silica into complex structures. Furthermore, combining complex ABC copolymer architectures with the physical, electrical, and optical properties of inorganic materials holds considerable... 

The refractive index of a particle is a second clue to its identity. See Ref 1 for a good book of refractive indices and other optical properties of inorganic substances.

We begin our discussion of nanocrystals in diis chapter widi die most challenging problem faced in die field die preparation and characterization of nanocrystals. These systems present challenging problems for inorganic and analytical chemists alike, and die success of any nanocrystal syndiesis plays a major role in die furdier quantitative study of nanocrystal properties. Next, we will address die unique size-dependent optical properties of bodi metal and semiconductor nanocrystals. Indeed, it is die striking size-dependent colours of nanocrystals diat first attracted... 

The important item is that this coating can be applied at room temperature and cured at 90 °C and gives a clear film with optical quality. Typical properties of inorganic polymers (hardness) and organic polymers (coating as a lacquer and low temperature processing) could be combined in one and the same polymer.

In recent years inorganic compounds have increasingly been put to practical use, mainly in electric, magnetic, and optical devices. An understanding of the chemical and physical properties of inorganic compounds is indispensable to the progress of materials science and ceramics. Because all inorganic compounds show non-stoichiometry, it is important to understand the nature of non-stoichiometry and the relation between defect structures (i.e. non-stoichiometry) and the properties that they show. 

At the end of the 1960 s, the Kurtz and Perry powder SHG method was introduced.(8) For the first time, rapid, qualitative screening for second order NLO effects was possible. The stage was set for a rapid introduction of new materials, both inorganic and organic. The early history summarized here is based on a more extensive report presented by Zyss and Chemla (8) in their series "Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic Molecules and Crystals."... 

Properties of inorganic nanotubes such as those of MoS2 have been investigated to some extent. However, by and large, there is much to be studied with respect to the electronic, optical and other properties of most of the inorganic nanotubes. Properties such as sorption, hydrogen storage and catalytic activity are worthy of exploration. Mechanical properties of BN, B-N-C and related nanotubes are also worthy of study. 

Ellipsometry is the study of the change of polarization of a light wave impinging on a solid surface and partially reflected from it, which is modified by the wavefunction of the substrate or of the molecules adsorbed on it (Fig. 11.36) (see Section 2.15 for the mathematics). It is a nondestructive method to study the optical properties of thin films and is sensitive to even just a monolayer of inorganic, organic, or biochemical adsorbates on a flat surface. 

Turbidity reflects the amount of suspended matter in water (e.g., clay, silt, organic and inorganic matter, and plankton). The standard measure of turbidity is the turbidity unity (TU), which is based on the optical property of a water sample, causing transmitted light to be limited. As the number of particles increases, turbidity increases. The measuring instrument is called a nephelometer, and the readings are expressed as nephelometric turbidity units (NTU).
