abstract

the silica aerogel was prepared by the acid–base sol–gel polymerization of tetraethylorthosilicate precursor followed by ambient pressure drying. the prepared silica aerogels were characterized by fourier transform infrared )ft-ir(, thermo-gravimetric and differential thermal analysis )tg/dta(, x-ray diffractometer )xrd(, energy dispersive x-ray microanalysis )edx(, brunauer–emmitt–teller (bet)  and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the result silica aerogel is a light and crack-free solid with very low bulk density 0.027 g /cm3, high specific surface area 655.58 m2/ g and large pore volume 0.4831 cm3/ g. the average size of particles was calculated using a microstructure measurement program and minitab statistical software.

Modification of Silica surface by Titanium sol synthesis and characterization

Hydrophobic silica titanium nanoparticles (STNPs) were successfully synthesized by the sol-gel process using liquid modification. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and X-ray fluorescence (XRF) studies were demonstrated the attachment of titanium on the silica surface. Titanium content enhanced the agglomeration of particles as shown in topography results. The N2 adsorption-desorption followed T...

Synthesis, characterization, of Fluorohydroxyapatite nanopowders by sol-gel processing

In this work, sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the fluorohydroxyapatite (nano-FHA, Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2−xFx) nanopowders. The advantages of the sol-gel method over other methods are precise control of composition, low processing temperature, and better homogeneity. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, phosphorous pentoxide and Tetrabuthylammon...
