Solution-processable hri inorganic/organic hybrid optical films

The present invention provides new hybrid materials (30) comprising titanate nanoparticles (1), surfactants (2) and a polymeric matrix (3) as defined in the claims. The hybrid materials have superior optical and thermal properties and may be in the form of a thin film, in the form of an encapsulant or in the form of micro lenses. The invention further provides for intermediate goods and devices comprising such hybrid materials, and for starting materials to obtain such hybrid materials. The invention also provides for processes of manufacturing said starting materials, said hybrid materials, said intermediate goods, for the use of said starting materials, said hybrid materials, and said intermediate goods.
