Rare-earth/inorganic/organic polymeric hybrid materials: molecular assembly, regular microstructure and photoluminescence

A novel path is described for assembling the hybrid materials containing the inorganic polymeric Si-O network and organic polymeric chains. The photoluminescence properties of these materials have shown that the ternary rare-earth/inorganic/organic polymeric hybrids present stronger luminescent intensities and higher luminescent quantum efficiencies than the binary rare-earth/inorganic polymeric hybrids.
