HYBRID ORGANIC-INORGANIC MATERIAL, OPTICAL THIN LAYER MADE OF SAID MATERIAL, OPTICAL MATERIAL CONTAINING SAME, AND METHOD FOR MAKING SAME

摘要

The invention relates to a composite organic-inorganic material that includes: colloid particles of at least one inorganic compound selected from oxides and oxyhydroxides of a metal or metalloids prepared according to a hydrolysis-condensation method in a protic or polar solvent, said particles being functionalised at the surface thereof by reaction with an organic compound; and an organic or inorganic polymer. The invention also relates to a method for preparing this composite material, and to an optical material including a layer of said composite material.
