Sugar-derived organogels as templates for structured, photoluminescent conjugated polymer–inorganic hybrid materials

Abstract

Co-assembly of an inorganic-organic hybrid material through the combination of supramolecular organogel self-assembly, phase partitioning of a conjugated polymer (CP) and transcription of an inorganic oxide leads to a hybrid material with structured domains of organogel, CP and silica within tube and rod microstructures.
