The present invention relates to polymerizable compositions comprising at least one monomer and at least one modified metal oxide comprising the reaction product of a metal oxide and at least one coupling agent. In addition, polymer compositions comprising a polymer and the modified metal oxide are also disclosed. Finally, methods for preparing the polymerizable compositions and polymer compositions are described as are optical devices comprising the polymer compositions.

Compositions comprising modified metal oxides

The invention provides a substantially transparent material comprising particles of an inorganic titanate or an inorganic zirconate and at least one compound, wherein the particles are uniformly dispersed in the at least one compound, and wherein the particles are bonded to the at least one compound via at least one surface functional group of the particles. The invention also provides a light emitting device comprising a light emitting diode encapsulated with the substantially transparent material.
