Abstract
Recently, organic/inorganic hybrid materials with controled morphology on a scale of nanometer have acquired much interests as a new type of composites. Here, an overview of organic/inorganic hybrid materials, composed of metal oxides or clay materials as inorganic components, is provided with emphasis placed on the morphology-property relationship. The organic/inorganic hybrids are classified by their composition and are described in detail in focus on the synthesis, property, morphology as well as application.
