Organic-inorganic hybrid materials: nanoparticle containing organogels with myriad applications

Chem Commun (Camb). 2014 Nov 28;50(92):14418-20. doi: 10.1039/c4cc05745g.

Abstract

The synthesis of hybrid inorganic-organic materials from a single-component organogelator is reported. Varied functional inorganic materials were included and the resultant physico-chemical properties of the gels are presented. These materials are quick, versatile, can be cast into virtually any form, and the nanoparticles are easily reclaimed.
