Organic-inorganic hybrids in which both constituents exhibit electrical dipolar properties have been fabricated. The inorganic constituent was either LiNbO3 or BaTiO3, and the organic constituent was triethoxysilyl 2,4-dinitrophenylaminosilane (TDP) cross-linked with SiO2 Transparent films were made in a 1:1 organic:inorganic ratio. The films were characterized optically. Preliminary indication of interactions between organic and inorganic constituents, particularly in the case of BaTiO3-TDP-SiO2, has been observed.
