Cells in Sol-Gels I: A Cytocompatible Route for the Production of Macroporous Silica Gels
A novel, high hydrolysis ratio sol-gel route for the biocompatible production of macroporous silica gels is presented. This route exploits the two step nature of the gelation reaction to remove undesired alcohol by-products from an acidic aqueous sol prior to gelation. These alcohol-free sols will gel when the pH is raised to the physiologic range in a two-step, acid/base catalyzed process. Fur...
متن کاملSynthesis and Characteristics of Mesoporous Sol-gels for Lipase Immobilization
Enzyme cost is the major problem for industrial scale application. Immobilization is a promising approach to moderate the enzyme cost factor and increase its stability and activity. In this study, sol-gel method was used to prepare the immobilization platform and entrapped lipase as one of the most used enzyme in dairy processing, cosmetics and pharmaceutical industries. Lipase from Candida rug...
متن کاملCharacterization of Mechanical Properties of Silica Aerogels
Silica aerogels are nanoporous ultralight new materials with extraordinary material properties. In this study, the mechanical properties of silica aerogels, e.g. Young’s modulus, Poisson’s ratio and constitutive relation, are investigated using Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations and theoretical analysis. In molecular dynamics simulations, an improved process of negative pressure rupturing meth...
متن کاملIntegration of Silica Aerogels in Microfluidic Chips
This paper reports a method to integrate silica aerogels monolithically in microfluidic chips. Silica Aerogel is a highly porous bulk material. The gel was synthesized from tetraethyl orthosilicate by a sol-gel process. Polyethylene glycol and an extended aging period were used to strengthen the matrix minimizing gel shrinkage. This technique allows alcogel structures with high strength and sti...
متن کاملImmunoassays for cortisol using antibody-doped sol–gel silica
Anti-cortisol was encapsulated in optically transparent sol–gel silica matrices and competitive immunoassays for cortisol were conducted using the antibody-doped silica material as sensing elements. Calibration curves were derived in the physiological relevant range for cortisol of 1 to 100 mg dl. Sensing elements were prepared in both monolith and thin-film forms, and results show that with th...
