Organic-inorganic hybrid materials attract particular interest because of their excellent mechanical properties. Here, we report the synthesis of hybrid cryogels consisting of interpenetrated polyisobutylene and silica networks. The gels were prepared by cross-linking of butyl rubber in cyclohexane containing silica
