The final products are transparent and display a high refractive index (n.sub.D =1.60-1.76). The refractive index of these hybrid materials has a linear relationship with the metal oxide content.application/pdfen-USPatenthttp://pimg-fpiw.uspto.gov/fdd/80/090/051/0.pdf7441493516/100525/534525/471525/535C04B28/003C08G79/00C08G65/48C08L85/00G02B1/045109080
