in recent years, using sol-gel procedure for the purpose of laboratory and industrial synthesis of nano-structures, and especially silica nano-particles, has been significantly increased. in this research, silica particles were synthesized by sol-gel procedure and their physical and chemical properties were studied by means of scanning electron microscopy (sem), transmission electron microscopy...

in this work firstly zno nanoparticles were synthesized via a simple precipitation method. at the second step titanium dioxide and silicon dioxide shell were synthesized on the core. for preparation zno-tio2-sio2 the sol product was calcinated at 500 ºc for 2h. properties of the product were examined by x-raydiffraction pattern (xrd), scanning electron microscope (sem) and fourier transform inf...

the stabilized zirconia with different cu contents synthesized via sol-gel method. the samples were prepared by hydrolysis and condensation of orgnomatelic sol. after that the result gels were dried at 80 °c and then calcined at various temperatures.  ِ the differential thermal analysis (dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd), field emission scanning electronic microscopy (fesem) and transmission electro...

in this research, a sol gel autocaombustion route has been proposedto synthesize alumina-zirconia composite powders, usingammonium bicarbonate as a new fuel. then the effect of calcinationtemperature on phase transformation and crystallite sizes wasinvestigated. to characterize the products xrd, tem and betanalyses were used. xrd patterns of as-synthesized powder andcalcined powders at 1100 ◦c ...

Sol-gel based biomaterials may be used for various applications, including biomedical ones. In this respect it is important to investigate the influence of sol-gel matrices on biological systems in order to establish their cytotoxic activity. The results of EPR studies of sol-gels are described in this work. They demonstrate that various defects are present in sol-gel matrices: surface defects,...

In the field of polymer science, many kinds of polymeric material systems that show a sol-gel transition have been created. However, most systems are unidirectional stimuli-responsive systems that require physical signals such as a change in temperature. Here, we report on the design of a block copolymer solution that undergoes autonomous and periodic sol-gel transition under constant condition...
