Abstract
A process for forming an organic-inorganic hybrid material that can undergo a property change when exposed to an external stimulus, the process comprising providing a prepolymer; and attaching a functional organometal material to the prepolymer, where the functional organometal material comprises a functional moiety that is responsive to an external stimulus such that the organic-inorganic hybrid material exhibits a change in a property of the organic-inorganic hybrid material. The process can further include forming hydrogel particles from the organic-inorganic hybrid material.

A process for forming an organic-inorganic hybrid material that exhibits a property change in response to an external stimulus, the process comprising:
- (a) forming a metaloxo polymer by adding a metal source to a solution comprising a water, an oxygenated material, and a first catalyst and reacting the components in the solution, the metaloxo polymer comprising a reactive site on the polymer chain;
- and
- (b) grafting a functional moiety to the polymer by reacting a functional organmetal material with the polymer via the reactive sites on the polymer chain.
