Inorganic-organic hybrid polymers suitable for optical applications, were synthesized by catalytically controlled hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions. The resulting resins are build-up by organically functionalized nm-size primary particles (oligomers). Due to the variety of alkoxysilanes and synthesis parameters, [...]
