Abstract

A method of synthesizing metal alkoxide polymers is provided, for use, as an example, in synthesizing hybrid organic/inorganic materials with low optical absorption for optical applications. The method involves a plurality of acidolysis steps involving acidolysis of a metal alkoxide compound with an acid to produce an intermediate acidolysed solution, and combining and condensing the intermediate acidolysed solutions to produce the metal alkoxide polymer.
