The intercalation or entrapment of oxyethylene compounds, crown ethers, and poly(ethylene oxide) into inorganic osts provides the opportnity to design and prepare nanocomposite maerials useful for membrane and solid electrolyte applications. Crown ethers incorporated into the membranes produced by intercalation can act as ion‐selective sensors. The field is reviewed and several recently developed applications described.
