In the paper, we give a brief overview of the main developments made personally and under the direct supervision of the professor, academician RANS andIAELPS P. Kudryavtsev. These developments are devoted to the use of sol-gel processes in various branches of science and technology. Using this process, new composite heat-resistant materials, highly disperse materials and thin filmswere created. These developments have made it possible to create new efficient catalysts and highly selective inorganic ion-exchange materials. Based on inorganic ion-exchange materials, a technology was developed to extract lithium from natural brines, which are poor in lithium content. On the basis of sol-gel technology, new composite matrix-isolated flocculants-coagulants were created. These reagents are designed for the treatment of natural and wastewater in order to remove impurities of oil products and heavy metals.

The present work relates to the topic of green chemistry and technology of inorganic substances. In particular, it is devoted to the development of new materials for the reagent treatment of natural and waste water. The authors developed a technology for manufacturing composite materials - flocculants-coagulants on aluminum-silicon and iron-silicon base. Based on these reagents, methods were proposed for purifying natural waters, industrial wastewater and storm sewage. The authors have developed and patented a technology for producing flocculants-coagulants of this type in solid form. When creating these composites, matrix isolation methods of existing active components were used. The experimental evaluation of the effectiveness of the developed flocculants-coagulants ASFC and IFSC on real natural water and industrial wastewater is carried out. Their comparison with known analogs produced by industry is made.

In this article is reviewed the nature of organic hybrid nanocomposites. Promising directions in the field of organic hybrid nanocomposite materials will be methods for the synthesis of multicomponent materials, as well as the type of "net net" and "host-guest". The fundamental problem with the chemistry and physics of nanocomposites is dependent "structure-property". Solving this problem will move from research materials to their purposeful design.
