✦ Synopsis

An attempt is made to classify transparent organic/inorganic materials synthesized by the sol-gel process. The chemical structures of the hybrids are the main criteria for this classification. Three main types of organic/ inorganic gels are distinguished and their basic physico-chemical characteristics are outlined.
