  • Preparation and characterization of polymer-SiO₂ hybrids

    Creator:
    Ferguson, Morgan L.
    Abstract:
    In a search for designed materials that mimic those found in biological systems, combining polymers with inorganic materials in sol-gel chemistry processes has gained momentum in the research world since the 1990's. This work methodically investigated the properties of several related polymer-SiO₂ hybrids prepared by a simple methodology that could...
