ABSTRACTPolysilane/inorganic (silica, titania) nano-hybrids might be attractive materials for organic photonics. Polymethylphenylsilane (PMPS)/silica nano-hybrid thin films were prepared by a sol-gel reaction of PMPS block copolymers with alkoxysilanes. The refractive index of hybrid thin films could be controlled with the composition ratio of PMPS, and the value was changed by UV irradiation accompanying photodecomposition of PMPS. After development of the irradiated hybrid thin films, nano porous (ca. 20nm) silica thin films were generated by removing the decomposed PMPS segments and a high refractive index difference occurred between irradiated and non-irradiated part in the hybrid thin films. Furthermore, under photodecomposition of polysilane copolymers, polysilane functioned as a reducing agent of gold (III) ions to prepare the gold nanoparticles.

We investigated the properties of inorganic–organic hybrid thin films prepared by sol–gel reaction. Sol solutions were synthesized by using two kinds of nanosized boehmite and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) in variation with the amount of MTMS at different reaction times. Boehmite nano sol of spherical and fibrous shapes was used as inorganic material, and MTMS was used as organic material. The morphology of boehmite nano sol powder was observed by transmission electron microscopy. Coating sols were prepared from boehmite sol and MTMS by sol–gel reaction. Physical and chemical properties of thin films prepared from boehmite and MTMS sols were investigated. Surface hydrophobicity, roughness, thickness, thermal resistance and electrical resistivity of boehmite/MTMS thin films were investigated.
