Homogeneous thick silica coatings were prepared onto metals substrates by Electrophoretic Deposition (EPD) using particulate sol-gel sols. The synthesis of the sols was performed by mixing tetraethoxysilane and methyltriethoxysilane under basic catalysis. The synthesis, storage and processing conditions were optimised, correlating the rheological properties of the sols with EPD performance and ...

this research is on the improvement of the procedure to determination of trace levels of antidepressant drug; fluoxetine in wastewaters. in this research a silica based sol-gel was applied for the extraction of fluoxetine from water samples. this two-phase technique is consisting of aqueous samples of fluoxetine (donor phase) and silica based nanocomposite prepared by sol-gel technique (accepto...

TiO₂ sol was produced by the sol-gel method through the hydrolysis and the aging of tetrabutyl titanate and the TiO₂ film was obtained by dipping and uniform lifting of the acid-treated and ultrasound-treated clean glass slides into the TiO₂ sol followed by aging, drying, and calcination. The effect of the hydrolysis control agents to the formed sol was researched and the crystalline state, the...

Titanium gels doped with water-soluble cationic porphyrin were synthesized by the sol–gel polymerization of Ti (OC4H9)4. In this work we investigate the spectroscopic properties along with SEM images of tetra carboxyl phenyl porphyrin when incorporated into porous matrix produced by the sol–gel technique. Keywords—TCPP; Titanium matrix; UV/Vis spectroscopy; SEM.

A study of PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) sol-gel-coated channels fabricated using soft lithography and a laser direct writing technique is presented. PDMS is a biocompatible material that presents a high versatility to reproduce several structures. It is widely employed in the fabrication of preclinical devices due to its advantages but it presents a rapid chemical deterioration to organic solven...

UV patternable high refractive index inorganic–organic hybrid materials prepared by sol–gel process can be nanoimprinted in order to get photonic crystal nanopatterns. Non-hydrolytic sol–gel process can make a UV curable and relatively high refractive index hybrid material, which can be cured without a significant shrinkage for nanoimprinting. Sol–gel process of heterogeneously functionalized s...
