In the present work, a study was carried out to compare morphology and electrochemical properties of pure graphene-modified hybrid silica sol–gel coatings deposited on anodized AZ31B magnesium alloys. The precursor solution prepared using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) 3-glycidoxypropyl-trimethoxysilane (GPTMS), with addition chemically modified graphene nanosheets (GN-chem). Homogeneous adherent wer...

By manipulating the interfacial interactions between the peptide templates and the silicate species derived from TEOS and APTES, a facile biomimetic method was developed for the fabrication of silica nanostructures exhibiting "string-of-beads" and fibrillar morphologies of varied sizes.

For preservation of stones used in Cultural Heritage, affected by weathering processes that threaten their cohesion and mechanical properties, the application of consolidants is a common practice. However, available consolidating products generally exhibit some drawbacks that hinder their performance, in terms of either mechanical efficacy, compatibility with the substrate and/or durability. Et...

Organic-inorganic hybrid materials overcome drawbacks associated with alginate hydrogels. In this work, covalently coupled silica-alginate hybrids were prepared by Schiff base formation and sol-gel reaction using dialdehyde (ADA), (3-Aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), APTES/tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) precursors. The influence of the polysaccharide/inorganic ratio, nature inorganic precur...
