Another intriguing feature of sol–gels is the unusual morphologies that are achievable at the micro- and nano-scale. Subsequently the ability to control pore chemistry at a number of different length scales and geometries has proven to be a fruitful area of exploitation, that provides excellent ...

We report on measurements done on thin SiO 2 layers prepared as sol-gels and doped with various dyes on a glass substrate. The preparation is done by dip-coating of the substrate in the corresponding alcoxide solutions. Good-quality layers without crazing after drying are achieved with a ...
Explores a wide range of materials including gels, ceramics, hybrid organic-inorganic materials and composites. Presents original research and technological manuscripts in extended reports. Provides a platform for the publication of short papers on products developed via chemical technology. High author sat...
Freshly prepared silica gels contain an appreciable amount of solvent (usually 70 to 90 wt %) which must be eliminated. The solid silica network formed by hydrolysis and polycondensation of Si alkoxides is made up by Silica species of a few tens of nanometer size. Capillary stress appears when...
The Journal of Sol-Gel Science and Technology (JSST) provides an international forum for the dissemination of scientific, technological, and general knowledge about materials processed by chemical nanotechnologies known as the "sol-gel" process. The materials of interest include gels, gel-derived glass...
The AM Feedstocks can then be adapted for use in a range of 3D printing technologies, like those described in the previous section to form gels, composites, hybrid materials, glasses, or ceramic materials in arbitrary geometries. To best illustrate the types of materials and AM technologies ...
During the last decade sensitive materials based on sol–gel technology have demonstrated to be suitable for production of transductors, dosimeters, detectors and sensors.1, 2, 3, 4 Such sol–gel materials can be obtained as small monoliths, thin coatings, fibres, soft gels and even liquid so...
The sol gels of Examples 1 and 2 have been modified by loading inert fillers to make Examples 3 and 4 respectively, according to the invention. Inert fillers such as ceramic colours of particle size 2-10 μm (1-5 weight %) were used but tended to settle out of the sol gel with time...
