Organic-Inorganic Hybrid Materials

This book deals with one of the most attractive fields in material science and technology research. In fact the concept of organic-inorganic hybrid materials is applied to a wide variety of approaches that include materials with inorganic and/or organic nature with respect to their matrices and/or dispersed phase. The present book compiles one editorial and eleven approaches to the topic and intends to provide a transversal idea about what the field of the so-called organic-inorganic hybrid materials means in actual scientific scenarios. In any case the role is pointed out of the interphase between the components as the critical aspect to consider as a way to enhance and understand these components in order to design materials with tailor-made organized structures considering the increasing nano- meso- micro- and macro-scales.
