Mono dispersed nano SiC particles with spherical morphology were synthesized in this project by hydrolysis and condensation mechanism during sol gel processing. pH, temperature and precursor’s ratio considered as the main parameters which could influence particles size. According to DLS test results, the smallest size of particles in the sol (<5nm) was obtained at pH<4. It can be observed from ...

We report on the fabrication and characterization of thick UV-patternable hybrid sol-gel films by spin coating using a modified sol-gel process. Thick coating of 25 microns with crack-free surface can be produced by one spin coating step. Thick layers of more than 100 μm can be obtained with a multi-coating process. Characterization using different techniques including optical microscope and at...

Sol-gel processing is an attractive method for large-scale surface coating due to its facile and inexpensive preparation, even with the inclusion of precision nanotopographies. These are desirable traits for metal orthopaedic prostheses where ceramic coatings are known to be osteoinductive and the effects may be amplified through nanotexturing. However there are a few concerns associated with t...

in this work, sol-gel processing was used to synthesize the fluorohydroxyapatite (nano-fha, ca10(po4)6(oh)2−xfx) nanopowders. the advantages of the sol-gel method over other methods are precise control of composition, low processing temperature, and better homogeneity. calcium nitrate tetrahydrate, phosphorous pentoxide and tetrabuthylammonium fluoride were used, respectively, as p, ca, and f p...

Nano Bioactive glass material of the type CaO–P2O5–SiO2 was obtained by the sol-gel processing method at considerably lower temperatures than required for conventional melting methods. As a new modification, volume of solution was changed in order to investigate its effects on the properties of bioglass samples. The obtained material was characterized by X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), surface ...

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...
