A new route to sol-gel crystalline wollastonite bioceramic

A new synthesis route to high surface area sol gel bioactive glass through alcohol washing

Bioactive glass is one of the widely used bone repair material due to its unique properties like osteoconductivity, osteoinductivity and biodegradability. In this study bioactive glass is prepared by the sol gel process and stabilized by a novel method that involves a solvent instead of the conventional calcinations process. This study represents the first attempt to use this method for the sta...

SrAl2O4: Eu2+, Dy3+ phosphors derived from a new sol-gel route

The SrAl2O4: Eu 2þ, Dy3þ phosphor powders were prepared by a new sol–gel method using aluminum isopropoxide and strontium acetate as precursors. The sol–gel process and the structure of the phosphor powders were investigated by means of DSC-TG and XRD. It was found that the single-phase SrAl2O4 was formed at 900 8C, which is 300 8C lower than that required for the conventional solid-state react...

Introduction to Sol-Gel

Deposition of Nano-Crystalline Fluor-hydroxyapatite Coatings on Titanium Substrates via Sol-Gel Method

      In this investigation, fluor-hydroxyapatite (FHA) film was deposited on a titanium substrate by sol-gel method. Triethyl phosphite, ammonium fluoride and calcium nitrate in ethanol solutions were used respectively as P, F and Ca precursors. Typical apatite structures were obtained for all coatings after dipping and subsequent heat treatment at 550, 700 and 800 ºC, the coating layers were ...

Effect of Crystalline Size on the Structure of Copper Doped Zirconia Nanopaticles Synthesized via Sol-Gel

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 el...
