incorporation of copper species into silica matrix was performed by the sol-gel method. copper ions and copper particles were doped using two different copper sources; cu(no3)2.3h2o and copper particles chemically synthesized.the particles of copper metallic, cuprous and cupric oxide were prepared and the synthesis and characterizations of copper species were compared together. on the other han...

abstractvarious nanoparticles have been investigated as novel drug delivery systems, including solid lipid nanoparticles (slns). due to their rapid clearance from systemic circulation, nanoparticles do not provide sustained action in most cases. different strategies have been employed to overcome this problem. in this direction, the present study introduces erodible in-situ forming gel systems ...

preparation and characterization of thermoresponsive in-situ forming poloxamer hydrogel for controlled release of nile red-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles. nanoparticles (nps) are cleared rapidly from systemic circulation and do not provide sustained action in most cases. to solve this problem, this investigation introduces an erodible in-situ forming gel system as potential vehicles for prolo...

This paper presents experimental analysis and results of GaN (being a III-V semiconductor) doped with Ferrite elements synthesized using Sol-Gel technique which are carried out at National Chemical Laboratory, Pune Maharashtra. The GaN is employed as dopant for x=1 and x=5, in the formula Ga(2x) N Fe2(49-x) O3 . A non-spinel ferrite system ( Fe2 O3) is chosen for our study. The XRD (Structural)...

Tm(3+), Er(3+), Tm(3+)/Er(3+), Tm(3+)/Er(3+)/Eu(3+) single, double and triple activator ion/ions doped nanocrystalline BaGd2O4 (BG) phosphors were prepared by a Pechini type sol-gel process. After annealing at 1300 °C, X-ray diffraction patterns confirmed their orthorhombic structure. Field-emission transmission electron microscope images of the BG sample indicated a nanoneedle-type morphology....

Trivalent lanthanide (Eu(3+), Tb(3+) and Dy(3+)) ions activated tunable color emitting BaGd2O4 (BG) phosphors were synthesized by a facile Pechini-type sol-gel process. The X-ray diffraction pattern confirmed the orthorhombic phase after annealing at 1300 °C for 5 h. Morphological studies were performed based on the analysis of transmission electron microscopy images, which showed needle type n...

A heat-induced O/W emulsion gel that undergoes a phase transition from sol to gel on heating was formed from the addition of aqueous HCl to a toluene solution of a long-chain amidoamine derivative (C18AA). The heat induced O/W emulsions are highly sensitive to temperature, and the sol-gel transition temperature could be simply controlled by adjusting the C18AA concentration. Interestingly, the ...

We have fabricated high quality sol-gel derived silicate and aluminoborosilicate thin films deposited on silicon substrates. From capacitance vs voltage measurements we observe low interface trap densities (<10H/cm2eV) and very low densities of slow interface state (<101~ 2) in most films investigated. We have been able to make significant improvements over previous sol-gel derived oxides on si...
