Suppression of thermochromism in a poly (di-n-hexylsilane)-zirconia hybrid
Poly(di-n-hexylsilane) (PDHS)-containing zirconia hybrid thin films were prepared by a sol-gel reaction of PDHS copolymers and zirconium alkoxide, and it was found that the thermochromic properties of PDHS due to the transformation of the Si-Si main chain were suppressed in the PDHS-zirconia hybrid thin film.
