On one hand, biopolymers may assemble forming structures that serve as confining spaces or scaffolds in which the formation of the inorganic

• thickness and composition control on the molecular scale, even on complex three-dimensional structures. Moreover, by combining the two techniques, ALD and MLD, fundamentally new types of inorganic–organic hybrid materials can be produced. In this review article, we first describe the basic concepts

• 2000s the two techniques, ALD and MLD, were combined to produce inorganic–organic hybrid materials (Figure 1), making it possible to synthesize totally new material families with versatile characteristics, which are not accessible by any other existing technique [10][11][12][13][14]. In the combined ALD

• Figure 6 as examples of these types of films. Ethane-1,2-diol (ethylene glycol, EG) is the simplest diol used to fabricate inorganic–organic hybrid materials by ALD/MLD. The use of EG together with TMA was first reported by Dameron et al. [12]. The thin films were grown in the temperature range of 85–175

Focusing on the synthesis of novel inorganic–organic hybrid materials, we also investigated new ways to produce trialkoxysilanes
