Abstract
This chapter examines the history, chemistry, and applications of sol–gel-derived borate glasses. Despite a significant lack of literature compared to silicate sol–gel glasses, sol–gel borate glasses offer interesting properties for a wide range of applications. In particular, these glasses show great promise for specialty optical coatings and tissue-engineering applications.
