Dye coloration of silica with completely incompatible organic dye using stably coexisting organic solvent

Percolation transition of siloxane domain in partially phenylated organic/inorganic hybrid glass

“…Among the variations of hybrid glass, a phenyl-modified composition is quite promising due to its commercial availability. The authors have focused on the incorporation of organic or hydrophobic functions in glass to address the technical problem of obtaining a stable colored state in glass with organic dyes [11][12][13][14]. For example, to stabilize organic dyes in a matrix of siloxane bonds, the incorporation of an organic moiety in the glass is found to be effective.…”

Properties and microstructure of silica glass incorporated with tributyl phosphate by sol–gel method

“…In the solgel preparation scheme, the organic additive can be homogeneously mixed at the initial liquid state with the silica source. There have been a number of works of the incorporation of functional organic substances or dyes [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Our previous work reported the coloration of silica glass with near-infrared absorbing organic dye [16].…”
