Abstract

The history of sol–gel technology has been reviewed on the basis of sol–gel-derived functional materials. When worldwide efforts for significant sol–gel processing started to be made around 1970, it was regarded as a new method of preparing homogeneous glasses and ceramics at low temperatures, compared to the conventional melting and sintering method. After the sol–gel preparation of inorganic–organic hybrid materials was proposed in 1984, however, glass and ceramic researchers started processing functional materials with optical, electrical, chemical, mechanical, or biomedical functions as well as advanced glasses and ceramics by sol–gel method, and around 1995 sol–gel technology attracted the people working in all the materials-related technology areas including electronics, chemistry, mechanics, pharmacy, and medicine. Since then, sol–gel technology continued to progress by being applied to improvement of the performance of existing functional materials and exploration of novel functional materials. Detailed description of these situations will be made.
