Abstract. In present paper, various industrial applications of the sol-gel technology will be briefly introduced. In particular, the current development status and technological issues of sol gel derived functional nanoparticles in electronic and industrial materials will be reviewed. Productions and surface modifications of nanoparticles by sol-gel processing, their incorporations into nanocom...

Grifolan is an antitumor (13)-ƒÀ-D-glucan with a ƒÀ-glucosyl substitution at C-6 of every three main chain units, and is produced by Grifola frondosa. Grifolan possesses two different solid-state conformations, N (native) and H (helix) (N. Ohno et al., Chem. Pharm. Bull., 34, 2555 (1986)), and both form a gel in an aqueous neutral media. In this study, the gel-to-sol or sol-to-gel transition of...

Using sol-gel technology, a porous glass matrix (xerogel) is formed in a capillary column and acts as a support for a stationary phase of chromatographic particles used in capillary electrochromatography. Preparation of the sol-gel matrix and immobilization of the octadecylsilica (ODS) stationary phase occur in a single step. The presence of the particles in the column greatly reduces matrix cr...

A novel open-tubular CEC column coated with chitosan-graft-(β-CD) (CDCS) was prepared using sol-gel technique. In the sol-gel approach, owing to the 3D network of sol-gel and the strong chemical bond between the stationary phase and the surface of capillary columns, good chromatographic characteristics and unique selectivity in separating isomers were shown. The column efficiencies of 55,000∼16...

sulfated titania nanoparticles (so42-/tio2 nps) were synthesized using titanium tetraisopropoxide (ttip) by the sol-gel method. the structure and morphology of the prepared nanocatalyst was characterized using x-ray diffraction (xrd), scanning electron microscopy (sem) and brunauer–emmett–teller (bet) methods as well as fourier transform infrared (ft-ir) and energy dispersive x-ray (edx) spectr...

tio2 nanorods are synthesized by a thermal corrosion. in present work, synthesis of tio2 nanorods in anatase, rutile and ti8o15 phases, by using the sol-gel method and alkaline corrosion are reported. the morphologies and crystal structures of tio2 nanorods are characterized by use of field emission scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy and x-ray diffractometer techniques. the o...

calcium doped nickel ferrite powders have been prepared by sol-gel combustion technique. metal nitrates, such as calcium nitrate, nickel nitrate and ferric nitrate, were used as the source materials and citric acid and polyvinyl alcohol were used as the burning agent and agglomeration reducing agent, respectively. the average crystallite size of the prepared ferrite was in the order of ~70- 92 ...

heteropoly acid promoted nanoparticle of nickel oxide samples were prepared by sol-gel method using heteropoly acids. prepared composite was characterized by xrd, ft-ir and icp technique. in this work, we have reported bromination of phenol, its derivatives and some aromatic compounds. the liquid phase bromination of phenol was performed using heteropoly acids immobilized nanoparticle of nickel...

The sol–gel technique is a highly flexible technique for fabrication of oxide glasses, and various researchers have previously reported fluorescence studies of Er-doped sol–gel films and monoliths. Here we report the fabrication of Er-doped strip-loaded sol–gel silicate waveguides, using a silica–titania–alumina host composition, and Er concentrations up to f1.1=10 Er rcm, for possible applicat...

Controlled release silica sol gels are room temperature processed, porous, resorbable materials with generally good compatibility. Many molecules including drugs, proteins and growth factors can be released from sol gels and the quantity and duration of the release can vary widely. Processing parameters render these release properties exquisitely versatile. The synthesis of controlled release s...
