AMORPHOUS MICROPOROUS ORGANOSILICATE COMPOSITIONS

摘要

Organosilicate materials and methods for preparing organosilicate materials, including organosilicate films are provided. The organosilicate materials are hydrophobic, amorphous, and substantially microporous. These materials are prepared from organo-functional hydrolysable silane precursors and are prepared without the use of porogens. These materials are suitable for a wide range of uses, including as detection layers for sensing applications.
