Inorganic-Organic Hybrid Composites

There are various routes to synthesize rubber-based organic-inorganic hybrid composites through sol-gel process. These are mentioned in brief below. 

In order to prepare ENR/silica nanoscale organic-inorganic hybrid composites, nanosilica has been generated by the sol-gel technique using TEOS as a precursor. Their effect on mechanical properties of the resultant nanocomposites have been... 

Nanoporous carbon with narrow pore-size distribution can be prepared directly via a one-step nanocasting technique by carbonization of cyclodextrin-silica organic-inorganic hybrid composite.[260] The method consists of preparing a cyclodextrin-templated silica mesophase via soft chemistry, followed by direct carbonization of the occluded cyclodextrins. The nanocasting procedure provides granules (in millimeter scale) or monoliths (in centimeter scale). Cyclodextrins can be employed not only as structuredirecting templates but also as carriers for metal nanoparticle precursors. 

An organic-inorganic hybrid composite was prepared from silicon nanoparticles [90]. Silicon nanopar-...

Zirconium-modified silica gel (Zr-CAP-SG) was prepared by the grafting method and the obtained organic—inorganic hybrid composite was established as a highly effective catalyst for various organic conversions such as the syntheses of coumarins via Pechmann reaction, quinoxalines and 2,4,5-trisubstituted imidazoles (11CCAOAC327).
