Organic/Inorganic Hybrid Materials - 2004: Volume 847


Book Description

Interest in hybrid materials has accelerated recently, in particular because tailoring materials properties through organization of organic/inorganic composites at nanometer length scales is now an important focus for numerous diverse research domains. This book's objective here is to create a communal forum for researchers involved in all areas of organic/inorganic hybrid materials to share perspectives, to learn about leading-edge science and engineering occurring around the world, and to develop new ideas. The book is divided into focus areas that address synthesis and characterization methods, functional hybrid materials, hybrid materials influenced by biology, structured mesoporous materials and materials with multiscale organization. Topics include: methods of patterning hybrid materials; hybrid materials for photonic applications; mesoporous films and monoliths; biofunctional materials; layered hybrid materials; applications-oriented hybrid materials; hybrid materials for electronics, optoelectronics and semiconductor applications; methods of characterizing hybrid materials; and novel synthetic methods.







Nuclear Magnetic Resonance


Book Description

Annotation As a spectroscopic method, Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) has seen spectacular growth over the past two decades, both as a technique and in its applications. Today the applications of NMR span a wide range of scientific disciplines, from physics to biology to medicine.

Solid-State Chemistry of Inorganic Materials V: Volume 848


Book Description

Solid-state chemistry continues to span and to spawn multiple materials research areas, attracting investigators from chemistry, condensed-matter physics, materials science and engineering, ceramics, chemical engineering, and mineralogy/geology, to name a few. The common challenge is to understand and to predict structures and properties of new materials. As with earlier volumes in this series from the Materials Research Society, the presentations here represent interdisciplinary research from around the world and explore not only recent advances in the solid-state chemistry of inorganic materials, but also their impact on commercial applications. The book covers a broad range of topics, including synthesis and characterization of novel functional materials; design and fabrication of nanostructures and nanomaterials; crystal and structural chemistry; catalysis; gas separation and storage; and magnetic and optical applications. Both theoretical and computational studies of solid-state inorganic materials are featured. Joint presentations with solid-state ionics are also particularly fruitful.

Futuristic Research on Weak Forces in Inorganic-Organic Hybrids


Book Description

CHAPTER 1: The chapter comprises of recent technological explorations in the field of functional materials such as inorganic-organic hybrids. The history of inorganic-organic hybrid materials has been presented. The chapter further elaborates the amalgamation of two different chemical compounds i.e. inorganic and organic into single hybrid composite. CHAPTER 2: The analysis of weak secondary interactions in a series of zinc and cadmium based inorganic-organic hybrid compounds selected from CCDC, U.K. have been studies in this chapter to analyze the role of secondary interactions in the structure-stability and structure-property relationship. CHAPTER 3: The structural parameters were calculated by crystal and molecular structure visualization and function programs and were used to analyze the role of weak interactions in molecular frameworks of hybrid materials. CHAPTER 4: This chapter comprises of the analysis of crystallographic data to calculate the probable secondary interactions such as X-H…A, Cd…Cd, X…X, etc. and their role in finding the two different moieties (organic) and (inorganic) into a single composite hybrid material and has been calculated based on their d-θ cut-off criteria. CHAPTER 5: The chapter comprises of applications of these materials in inorganic-organic hybrid solar cells, hybrid batteries, hybrid light emitting materials, etc.CHAPTER 6: The chapter elaborated the methodology used to determine the structure property relationship of the inorganic-organic hybrid materials through characterization techniques such as SEM/FEM, TEM, FTIR, XRD, etc.CHAPTER 7: In this chapter, the scopes for future experimental work and extension areas for research and development of this branch of science has been discussed.
