Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials – 2002：VOLUME726

Written by researchers from the US, Europe, and Asia involved in the synthesis, characterization, processing, and properties analysis of organic and inorganic hybrid materials, contributions to this volume address the growing interest in hybrid materials, as researchers discover the ability to tailor the organization of organic/inorganic composites at nanometer length scales to provide access to materials that can have properties nonlinearly related to the bulk properties of the individual components. The volume contains 55 contributions, organized into the following focus areas: synthesis and characterization methods; functional hybrids; biomimetic and bioinspired materials; porous materials; and materials with multiscale organization.
