Organic-inorganic materials, nanoscale

Therefore, new synthetic strategies of these inorganic or hybrid organic-inorganic materials on the basis of molecular and supramolecular organic chemistry have been designed to achieve a control of the structure of the material at the nanoscale. We will focus on self-assembly strategies for the synthesis of nanostructured materials. Two main issues will be discussed ... 

Despite these difficulties, mesoscale self-assembly of inorganic materials holds promise. In fact, it is believed that the importance of self-assembly in the manufacturing of electronics, photonics, optics, and robotics mesoscale components could conceivably supersede its importance in the molecular and nanoscale sciences. Some hybrid organic—inorganic systems have attracted attention because... 

We are nowhere close to knowing the potential benefits that nanoscale silicone resin networks, with their special structure-effect relationship, will be able to offer irmovative technologies of the future (nanotechnology). By virtue of their organic-inorganic hybrid nature, silicones open up new paths to special functionalities and enhanced properties of materials. 

Plasma depositicai creates an ultrathin (in nanoscale) film coating, which are conformal, chemically inert and robust, corrosion-resistant, and strongly bonded to various substrates including both organic and inorganic materials.
