The production of materials based on fossil resources is yielding more sustainable and ecologically beneficial methods. Vegetable oils (VO) are one example of base materials whose derivatives rival the properties of their petro-based counterparts. Gaps exist however and one way to fill them is by employing sol-gel processes to synthesize organic-inorganic hybrid materials, often derived from silane/siloxane compounds. Creating Si─O─Si inorganic networks in the organic VO matrix permits the attainment of necessary strength, among other property enhancements. Consequently, many efforts have been directed to optimally achieve organic-inorganic hybrid materials with VOs. However, compatibilization is challenging, and desirable conditions for matching the inorganic filler in the organic matrix remain a key stumbling block toward wider application. Therefore, this review aims to detail recent progress on these new hybrids, focusing on the main strategies to polymerize and functionalize the raw VO, followed by routes highlighting the addition of the inorganic fillers to obtain desirable composites.
基于化石资源的材料生产正在产生更具可持续性和生态效益的方法。植物油（VO）是基础材料的一个例子，其衍生物的性能可与石油基同类产品相媲美。然而，仍存在差距，填补这些差距的一种方法是采用溶胶-凝胶工艺来合成有机-无机杂化材料，这些材料通常源自硅烷/硅氧烷化合物。在有机VO基质中创建Si─O─Si无机网络可以实现必要的强度以及其他性能提升。因此，许多努力都致力于优化制备含VO的有机-无机杂化材料。然而，相容性具有挑战性，在有机基质中匹配无机填料的理想条件仍然是更广泛应用的关键绊脚石。因此，本综述旨在详细介绍这些新型杂化材料的最新进展，重点关注使原始VO聚合和功能化的主要策略，随后突出添加无机填料以获得理想复合材料的途径。
