Supramoleeular Interactions at the Inorganic-Organic Interface in Hybrid Nanomaterials

摘要

Hybrid nanomaterials assembled from inorganic and organic materials are expanding the scope of new materials and still represent a challenge in the research field wherein new materials are synthesized for achieving specific physical properties. The properties of these hybrid materials are not only the sum of the individual contributions of both components, but are also determined by processes that occur at the interfaces between the components.The resulting changes may include either totally new or improved physical and chemical properties that result in strong interaction between the organic and inorganic units. These new generations of hybrid nanomaterials have attracted substantial research efforts and have been exploited for applications in various fields including optics, electronics, field emission, sensors, optoelectronics, and electromagnetics. Generally, the hybrid systems are able to self-organize into structurally well-defined hybrid architectures with controlled properties.
