Claims
- 1. An inorganic/organic hybrid material having transparency and a refractive index of no less than about 1.65 which comprises the sol-gel derived, hydrolytically cocondensed reaction product of a titanium alkoxide and a trialkoxysilane-capped poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide).
- 2. A material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the titanium alkoxide is titanium isopropoxide.
- 3. A material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the titanium oxide content of the material ranges from about 5% to about 95%, by weight.
- 4. A material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the trialkoxysilane moiety is triethoxysilane.
- 5. A material as claimed in claim 1 wherein the titanium alkoxide is titanium isopropoxide and the trialkoxysilane-capped poly(arylene ether phosphine oxide) is triethoxysilane-capped.
