4. Hybrid gels, various structures and applications
4.1 Hybrid gels
The term "hybrid gels" usually refers to gels in which a significant quantity of organic substance has been introduced in such a way as to remain in the final material, whatever its state (gel or xerogel).
The organic substance may be a molecule ("host-guest" type, or gel-functionalized) or a macromolecule (interpenetrating networks). Hybrids fall into two main classes:
Class I gels are of the "host-guest" type, meaning that the organic (or bioorganic) and inorganic parts are intertwined on a molecular scale, but without any strong bond between them;
Class II gels are systems in which the organic and inorganic parts have...
