Hybrid materials are a class of materials composed of two or more distinct components that are combined at the nanometer or molecular level to create new properties or functionalities. These materials can exhibit unique combinations of properties from each of their individual components, leading to improved performance in various applications such as electronics, catalysis, sensing, and energy storage. The combination of different types of materials allows for tailoring properties such as mechanical strength, conductivity, and optical properties, making hybrid materials versatile and highly sought after in research and development. Techniques such as sol-gel processing, layer-by-layer assembly, and co-polymerization are commonly used to create hybrid materials with specific properties tailored to the desired application.
