The Sol-gel Transformation in Gelatin

Effect of Phase Separation Temperature on Sol-gel Transformation of Fish Gelatin-gum Arabic Complex Coacervates: Structural and Rheological Characterization

Sol-gel synthesis of nanoporous γ-alumina using TX-100 or gelatin/TX-100 mixture as effective catalysts for dehydration of alcohols

In this study, the nanoporous γ-alumina catalysts were prepared by the sol-gel method using hydrolysis of aluminum isopropoxide in the presence of TX-100 or gelatin/TX-100 mixture. Catalysts were characterized by XRD, FT-IR, TEM, BET-BJH and N2 adsorption-desorption isotherms. To investigate reactivity and selectivity of the synthesized catalysts, dehydration reaction of 2-octanol was carried o...

Cytotoxicity effects of synthesized ZnO and Zn0.97X0.03O (X=Li, Na, and K) nanoparticles by the gelatin-based sol-gel method

Objective: In this study we would like to report the synthesis of pure and group I element doping of ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO-NPs) prepared using gelatin. The use of natural polymers for the preparation of the pure and doped nanoparticles can result in achieving low cost and eco-friendly advantages.Materials and Method: Pure and doped ZnO-NPs were obtained at 500 °C and The cytotoxicity of nanopa...

The role of the DCCAs in the preparation of crack-free Xerogel

Sol–gel chemistry is an efficient tool to control the morphology and reactivity of solids. Drying is the crucial step due to the capillary forces exerted during the classic ambient drying process, which induces the collapse of the wet gel porosity. The use of N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF), a newly found DCCA were found to be effective in the sol–gel synthesis of crack-free silica gel monolith fr...
