AbstractVarious nanoparticles have been investigated as novel drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs). Due to their rapid clearance from systemic circulation, nanoparticles do not provide sustained action in most cases. Different strategies have been employed to overcome this problem. In this direction, the present study introduces erodible in-situ forming gel systems ...

Electrically driven liquid jets are combined with sol-gel methods to design vesicles and fibers made from inorganic oxides and hybrid materials with diameters in the micrometer and submicrometer range. The proposed materials synthesis method benefits greatly from the maturity of sol-gel chemistry and the generalities of a structure-directing phenomenon that is physical in nature.

The use of advanced sensing devices for concrete and reinforced structures (RCS) is considered a rational approach the assessment repair options scheduling inspection maintenance strategies. immediate benefits are cost reduction reliable prevention unpredictable events. optical fiber sensors (OFS) such purposes has increased considerably in last few years due to their intrinsic advantages. In m...

UNLABELLED BACKGROUND In serious consideration of the worldwide environmental issues associated with the extensive use of the textile dyes and effluents generated thereof, the scientists across the world are in search for potential treatment technologies for their treatment. In such scenario the ligninolytic enzymes provide a potential alternative because they are cost effective, eco-friendl...

nano zno/ montmorillonite composite were prepared by sol gel method under ultrasonic irradiation from directly mixing montmorillonite nano clay into zinc gel. the zn(ch3coo)2.2h2o and montmorillonite nano clay was used as precursor. the zinc acetate was dissolved in di water and, nh3 (aq) solution was dropped into the zinc solution until ph 9 consequently the zinc gel was produced. the montmori...

limn2o4 spinel cathode materials have been successfully synthesized by solid-state reaction. surface of these particles were modified by nanostructured lifepo4 via sol gel dip coating method. synthesized products were characterized by thermally analyzed by thermogravimetric and differential thermal analysis(tg/dta), x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem), and energy dispers...

in this paper, zno thin film is deposited on slide glass substrate using the sol-gel process. presenting well-defined orientation of zno thin films nanostructure were obtained by dip coating of zinc acetate dihydrate, monoethanolamine (mea), de-ionized water and isopropanol alcohol. the annealed zno thin films were transparent ca 85-90% in visible range with an absorption edges at about 375 nm....

high purity fluorapatite (fa) with rod-like and spherical-like morphology was synthesized via sol-gel method. chemical characterization of fa powders was done by xrd and ftir analyses. crystallite samples were calculated using scherer method. morphology of fa powders was investigated with tem and sem images. the results revealed that increasing the time of hydrolysis of phosphate sols significa...

this research is on the improvement of the procedure to determination of trace levels of antidepressant drug; fluoxetine in wastewaters. in this research a silica based sol-gel was applied for the extraction of fluoxetine from water samples. this two-phase technique is consisting of aqueous samples of fluoxetine (donor phase) and silica based nanocomposite prepared by sol-gel technique (accepto...

the cunica nanopanicles have been synthesized by sol-gel auto-combusson. microwave and co-precipitationtechniques. then, the results of the three techniques were compared. in the vol-ael auto-combustion synthesiswas used glycine as a fuel. at first, sol was prepared. then, gel was achieved from drying so'. the prepared gelwas burnt at 350°c. in the noicrowavc technique, gel was prepared. then, ...
