The alkoxysilyl groups are available for the formation of an inorganic Si-O-Si backbone by sol-gel processing. The (meth)acrylate groups allow the additional formation of organic polymer units by thermally or photochemically induced polymerisation reactions.enfalsealkoxysilanescopolymershydrolysismolecularphotochemicalconference paper
