Hybrid materials combine in a synergistic mode the best of two worlds: that of macromolecular soft matter and that of dense ceramics. Although hybrid materials are known since ancient times, nowdays different synthesis strategies are elaborated for an efficient combination of these two worlds.
In this introductory talk I shall present the main properties of hybrid materials and the general synthesis pathways. I will discuss some particular examples taken from mother Nature, such as nacre and coccoliths, and the biomimetic approach for obtaining new hybrid functional materials.
In another approach I will present hybrids composed by nanoparticles dispersed in oxide matrices and the relevant optical properties of these new functional materials, as well as their applications.
