Abstract

Based on the outline of the conference that the author held in St. Petersburg for the conferment of the Life Achievement Award, some important steps in the evolution of science and sol–gel technology are revisited through examples taken from his research experiences. The goal is to reconsider what has been done in the past in light of what has been learned in the meantime. Some topics are still current and probably deserve further and more in-depth research, and new ideas for future work may be suggested. Driven by the interest of finding new materials and new fields of application, the sol–gel has evolved from the first studies on simple glass and glass–ceramic systems, to more sophisticated and complex organic–inorganic systems, multifunctional materials, and nanocomposites.

从过去的研究经验展望溶胶凝胶的未来

摘要

根据作者在圣彼得堡为授予“生命成就奖”而举行的会议的纲要，通过他的研究经验中的例子，回顾了科学和溶胶凝胶技术发展的一些重要步骤。目的是根据在此期间学到的知识重新考虑过去所做的工作。一些主题仍然是当前的，可能值得进一步和更深入的研究，并且可能会为以后的工作提出新的想法。在寻找新材料和新应用领域的兴趣驱使下，溶胶-凝胶已从对简单玻璃和玻璃-陶瓷体系的最初研究发展到更为复杂和复杂的有机-无机体系，多功能材料和纳米复合材料。
