Summary: Poly(di‐ n ‐hexylsilane) (PDHS)‐containing zirconia hybrid thin films were prepared by a sol‐gel reaction of PDHS copolymers and zirconium alkoxide, and it was found that the thermochromic properties of PDHS due to the transformation of the SiSi main chain were suppressed in the PDHS‐zirconia hybrid thin film.Structure of poly(di‐ n ‐hexylsilane)‐zirconia hybrid.
