Abstract:
1. A method for producing thin films, comprising the following method steps: a) adding surface-active substances to flowable compositions comprising nanoscale inorganic particulate solids having polymerizable and/or polycondensable organic surface groups; b) forming one or more thin films stabilized by the accumulation of the surface-active substances at the interface(s), the forming of one or more thin films taking place through the generation of bubbles, foam, and/or through the formation of minimal surfaces; c) solidifying the one or more thin films by polymerization and/or polycondensation, wherein the one or more thin films are subjected to pyrolysis at a temperature in a range from about 400° C. to about 1500° C.
