ABSTRACTWe have synthesized a new second-order NLO compound containing both the highly active tricyanovinyl electron acceptor group and appropriate funtionality for covalent bonding to an inorganic silica matrix by sol-gel processing. Sub-Micron films of this material can be prepared by spin-coating, and thicker films can be prepared by casting or by spinning multiple layers. After curing at 150 °C, these films exhibit good chemical durability. The chromophores can be aligned by either corona or parallel-plate poling during the curing process. In this paper we will discuss the synthesis of the NLO compounds; sol-gel processing and thin-film preparation; optical, thermal, and chemical properties of the films; and the results of both corona and parallel-plate poling experiments.

ABSTRACTInorganic-organic hybrid polymers (ORMOCER®s) have been synthesized by sol-gel processing. The materials can be functionalized such that their physical and chemical properties can be reproducibly tailored towards the desired application, i.e., electronics, optics (passives/actives) or passivation technology. Besides, the materials which show negative resist behavior, can be patterned by UV exposure with good resolution. The materials are well-suited for thin and thick film technology using conventional coating technology, applied in multi-layer technology. We here particularly focus on materials for passivation against environmental influences, which additionally exhibit very good dielectric properties.

AbstractThis work is about the production of hybrid coatings of the system SiO2-PMMA (PMMA, polymethylmethacrylate). These materials have interesting mechanical and chemical properties useful for anticorrosive and wear resistance applications. SiO2-PMMA hybrids were obtained by the sol-gel traditional process, using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and methylmethacrylate (MMA) by Aldrich Co, as starting reagents. The SiO2:PMMA ratio was varied from 0:1 to about 1:1 at air atmosphere deposition. The coatings were obtained on acrylic sheets and silicon wafers. A diversity of coatings with chemical composition ranging from SiO2 and PMMA to obtain the SiO2-PMMA hybrids were obtained. Infrared (IR) and atomic force microscopy (AFM), were performed to determinate structural and morphological behavior.

Three kinds of colloidal silica (CS)/silane sol solutions were synthesized in variation with parameters such as different acidity and reaction time. Sol solutions were prepared from HSA CS/ methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS), LS CS/MTMS and LS CS/MTMS/γ -Glycidoxypropyltri methoxysilane (ES) solutions. In order to understand their physical and chemical properties, sol-gel coating films were fabricated on glass. Coating films on glass, obtained from LS/MTMS sol, had high contact angle, also, much enhanced flat surface in the case of LS/MTMS sol was observed in comparison with HSA/ MTMS sol. From all sol-gel solutions, seasoning effect of for enhancing properties of sol-gel coating layer on glass was observed while such sol-gel solutions were left for 7days. In initial stage of sol-gel reaction, all most of sol solutions used in this work seem to be unstable, formation of coating films was a little hazy and rough. However, improved coating films as observed in 4days later. LS/MTMS/ES sol solutions were synthesized with ES, adding to LS/MTMS sol. Contact angle of LS/MTMS/ES sol-gel coating films decreased, since ES played a role in forming hydrophilic hydroxyl sol. The elastic portion of coating films prepared from LS/MTMS/ES sol increased with addition of ES, but thermal stability decreased a little.

ABSTRACTThe use of sol-gel techniques to prepare glasses and crystalline ceramics offers outstanding opportunity for breakthroughs in technology. The areas of particular promise include novel glasses; crystallineceramics with exceptional microstructures; coatings for modification of electrical, optical, mechanical and chemical properties; porous media with high surface area and tailored chemistry; ceramic powders with high chemical homogeneity and narrow distributions of particle size; matrix materials in ceramicceramic composites; and a wide spectrum of specialty ceramic materials, ranging from abrasives and fibers to glass ceramics and films. Opportunities in each of these areas will be discussed and related to the advances in understanding and process technology required for their achievement. The theses will be advanced that creative chemistry provides the key to many of these advances, that ceramists simply MUST learn more chemistry, but that we dare not rest from our labors when the chemistry is done.

ABSTRACTParticulate TiO2 membranes have been prepared by sol-gel techniques from alkoxide precursors. The degree of aggregation, which is controlled by physical chemical processes during sol preparation influences the gelling volume and gel structure. While three types of gel structures have been proposed, the porosity of the final membrane seems to be little affected by these hydrogel structures. Firing temperature is a much more critical parameter. It is concluded that the primary particle size determines the final membrane porosity in this TiO2 system.
