ON THE COVER:
(left) Complex mixtures of hybrid
organic-inorganic materials can be cured into mixed-graft interpenetrating
polymer network systems to lend luster, depth, and environmental
resistance to automotive finishes. (right) Examples of hybrid
organic-inorganic materials containing organic chromophores (courtesy
of Dr. F. Chaput, École Polytechnique Palaiseau). (background)
Structural model of a bridged polysilsesquioxane prepared by
sol-gel processing of monomers that contain a
variable organic bridging group and two or more trifunctional
silyl groups. See the technical theme that begins on p. 364.
