Tailoring of elastomeric grafted coating via sol-gel chemistry of crosslinked polymethylhydrosiloxane

Surface-localized release of nitric oxide via sol-gel chemistry.

The release of nitric oxide (NO) from polymers has proven to be highly effective at inhibiting platelet adhesion and thus enhancing the blood compatibility of medical implants. Micropatterning techniques were used to design surfaces that release NO while preserving the underlying substrate for other applications (e.g., sensors). Micropatterned NO-releasing substrates based on aminosilane-contai...

Nucleophilic Chemistry of the Synthesized Magnesium Oxide (Magnesia) Nanoparticles via Microwave@sol-gel Process for Removal of Sulfurous Pollutant

In this scientific research, magnesium oxide (MgO) nanoparticles were synthesized from magnesium nitrate and ammonium solutions via microwave@sol-gel process. The structure and the morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles has been identified and characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), N2-BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Tell), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and fourier transform infrared (FTIR) te...

The Power of Non-Hydrolytic Sol-Gel Chemistry: A Review

This review is devoted to non-hydrolytic sol-gel chemistry. During the last 25 years, non-hydrolytic sol-gel (NHSG) techniques were found to be attractive and versatile methods for the preparation of oxide materials. Compared to conventional hydrolytic approaches, the NHSG route allows reaction control at the atomic scale resulting in homogeneous and well defined products. Due to these features...
