Behavior of organic compounds confined in
monoliths of sol-gel silica glass. Effects of guest-host hydrogen bonding on
uptake, release, and isomerization of the guest compounds
J.D. Badjic and N.M. Kostic
J. Mater. Chem, 11,
408-418, 2001

Specific interaction between the host matrix
and the guest molecules may restrict or broaden the applicability of doped
sol-gel glasses in chemistry, biochemistry and materials science. This work emphasize
on the effect of hydrogen bonding and its impact on uptake and release of
solutes from solutions. Those who work on sensors based on entrapped active
molecules on sol-gel matrix will found this lecture extremely useful

Polymer-Layered Silicate Nanocomposite
Light-Emitting Devices

The potential use of polymer LEDs is
ultimately limited by low quantum efficiency and poor stability against
oxygen and humidity. The authors present a nanostructured composite material
consisting of conjugated polymers (MEH-PPV) and layered inorganic
silicates which shows an enhancement of the quantum efficiency of 100x in
comparison to the polymer itself and improved PL intensity by a factor 18.

This review paper surveys the work developed
in the field of functional hybrid materials especially those containg
conducting organic polymers, in combination with a variety of inorganic
species, from molecular to extended phases, including clusters and nanosized
inorganic particles [304

The creation of core-shell particles is
attracting a great deal of interest because of the diverse applicability of
these colloidal particles; e.g., as building blocks for photonic crystals,
in multi-enzyme biocatalysis, and in drug delivery. This review presents the
state-of-the-art in strategies for engineering particle surfaces. [140
