[1][2] The aim of the soft chemistry is to synthesize materials,[3] drawing capacity of living beings - more or less basic - such as diatoms capable of producing glass from silicates dissolved.
It is a new branch of materials science that differs from conventional solid-state chemistry and its application to the intense energy to explore the chemical inventiveness of the living world.
His mode of synthesis is similar generally for reactions involved in the polymerizations based on organic and the establishment of solutions reactive energy intake without essential polycondensation.
The fundamental interest of this kind of polymerization mineral obtained at room temperature is to preserve organic molecules or microorganisms that wishes to fit.
The products obtained by means of the so-called soft chemistry sol-gel can be stored in several types: The early results have included the creation of glasses and ceramic with new properties.
