Chemically bonded hybrid material which is a crosslinked inorganic–organic polymer.
Notes: - Organically modified ceramics are hybrid polymers with inorganic and organic moieties linked by @S05900@ covalent bonds and based on organically modified alkoxysilanes, functionalized organic polymers or both.
- Though it is a commonly used acronym for organically modified @CT07540@, 'Ormocer' is a registered trademark and as such its terminological use is strongly discouraged.
