cotio3-clay nano-composites were synthesized via a conventional sol-gel method; the gel was calcinated at 500 - 800°c for 2 hours. the presence of rhombohedra phase of cotio3 in clay matrix was confirmed by xrd, ftir, sem. cobalt titanate-clay nano-composites were prepared with 5-20%(w/w) by sol-gel method. the spectra results were investigated at 20% (w/w) concentration .the optimum condition ...

zro2 nanopowder was prepared by the sol-gel auto-combustion method. the product was characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd), energy dispersive analysis of x-ray (edx) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). the average crystalline size of zro2 was obtained 62 nm. also, photocatalytic removal of nitrophenol from aqueous solution by using nanoscale zro2 under uv light irradiation was studied. th...

some issues; leakage, tunneling currents, boron diffusion are threatening sio2 to be used as a good gate dielectric for the future of the cmos (complementary metal- oxide- semiconductor) transistors. for finding an alternative and novel gate dielectric, the nio (nickel oxide) and pva (polyvinyl alcohol) nano powders were synthesized with the sol-gel method and their nano structural properties w...

This work presents a novel method for direct desorption/ ionization of analytes from sol-gel-derived film. 2,5-Dihydroxy benzoic acid (DHB), a common MALDI matrix, was incorporated into a sol-gel polymeric structure. The sol-gel-derived DHB thin film can assist the mass analysis of analytes by laser desorption/ionization, with a matrix interference-free background in the mass spectra. The sol-g...

The sol-gel method is a simple and facile wet chemical process for fabricating advanced materials with high homogeneity, high purity, and excellent chemical reactivity at a relatively low temperature. By adjusting the processing parameters, the sol-gel technique can be used to prepare hollow sphere and 1D structural materials that exhibit a wide application in the fields of catalyst, drug or ge...

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 ...

The sol-gel process has emerged as an effective route for the fabrication of optical waveguides and guided wave devices and circuits. In particular, it is possible to incorporate active dopants like neodymium, erbium, and cesium for integrated optical active devices and circuits. In this paper, a review of recent research on active devices and circuits based on sol-gel process is made. Specific...

ag/tio2 photocatalytic nanoparticles by two methods, the sol – gel using a reducing agent and spattering was produced. crystalline phase of titanium dioxide was investigated in both. ag/tio2 peak in the sol – gel method at temperatures of 300,500 and 6000c were studied. ag/tio2 peak at different temperatures were determined using the spattering. xrd patterns of calcined this is tio2 and ag/ tio2.
