ABSTRACTEthylene diamine tetra-acetic acid (EDTA) doped silica gels were made by the sol-gel process for the potential application as a filter for heavy metal ions in wastewater. The behavior of the organic molecule in the matrix was studied by investigating the percentage of EDTA leached out with a variation in the timing of addition of the EDTA molecule into the starting silica gel solution. Leach tests using water as the medium were performed for 2, 12 and 24 hours in order to determine the amount of EDTA trapped in the pores or in the matrix. A minimum amount of EDTA leached from the gels was detected in the samples to which EDTA was added 4 hours after initial hydrolysis of TEOS. This result was correlated to having a greater percentage of pore volume in the range of 15–20 Å, which was further substantiated with density measurements. The physical changes in the silica matrix altering the pore volume distribution were attributed to the addition of the water into which the EDTA molecule was initially dissolved.

Abstract The study of nanostructure, thermal and relaxation properties (by HAADF-STEM, EDXS, DMA and DSC), combined with the calculations of interparticle distances and interfacial areas, has been performed for a series of the hybrid Cyanate Ester Resin (CER)/Si02 polymer composites with 0.01 to 10 wt.% Si02 units introduced via a sol-gel process. The absence of clusterization, arising only subnanometric Si02 nodes and their quasi-regular distribution within the amorphous matrix, with the shortest distances between nodes, provided their exceptional positive impact on the matrix properties at ultra-low Si02 contents of 0.03-0.1 wt.%. The superiority of these subnanocomposites over the nanocomposites was determined by the role of constrained interfacial dynamics over the whole matrix.

Hollow inorganic particles have attracted considerable interest for a variety of applications. In this work, yeast powder was used as a bio-template to fabricate yeast/titania core-shell spheres. A titania precursor was deposited via the hydrolysis of tetraisopropyl titanate. Triethanolamine was employed to control the reaction rate of the sol-gel process. The hollow titania particles with a diameter of approximately 4 m and a thickness of approximately 54 nm were successfully obtained after calcination of the core-shell spheres at 700 °C. The crystal structure of the particles was anatase. The specific surface area and the average pore diameter were 21.4 m2/g and 1.6 nm, respectively. The photocatalytic activity of the hollow particles was higher compared with that of solid particles.

Two chitosan silica hybrid materials were prepared by a two-step process in 78–84% yields using the homogeneous phase reaction of 3-(triethoxysilyl)propyl isocyanate with chitosan dissolved in 1-n-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ionic liquid (∼10% w/w), which was followed by NH4OH catalyzed hydrolysis of triethoxysilyl groups and then sol-gel process. These new hybrid materials were shown to adsorb up to about 95% of Fe3+ from 5 × 10−4 M aqueous solution at room temperature in 24 h.

Silica aerogel, the most common type of aerogels, comprised of 95% air in its structure which made the aerogel has a high surface area, high porosity, low density, and low thermal conductivity. Because of its structure and high porosity, one of its major weakness compared to other materials is being very brittle. This study aims at strengthening the connection points between silica nanoparticles using Pluronic10R5 (poly(propylene oxide)8–poly(ethylene oxide)22–poly(propylene oxide)8) where the Pluronic10R5 was used to reduce phase separation during the silica condensation reaction in the sol–gel process. Silica aerogel monoliths were prepared via a sol–gel process from hydrophobic silica gels and Pluronic10R5 with an ambient pressure drying (APD) process. Results from the compression test showed that the Pluronic10R5/silica aerogels have improved mechanical property by ten times that of unmodified silica aerogels. A thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) showed a mass loss at 300–400 °C that is attributed to the surface methyl group, while a mass loss at 200 °C refers to the loss of Pluronic10R5 which confirms the incorporation of Pluronic10R5 into the monolith. Moreover, infrared (IR) images revealed that the top surface temperature of Pluronic10R5/silica aerogels monolith is about 80 °C differs from the bottom heat source temperature of 160 °C.

. In the present work we used the sol-gel process to prepare Y2SiO5 precursor sols suitable for electrophoretic deposition (EPD). The sol synthesis was performed through the controlled hydrolysis of alkoxide solutions of tetraethoxysilane and yttriumoxoisopropoxide. During sol development emphasis was put on characterization of particles size and zeta potential of the formed aggregates. We succeeded in synthesizing a clear sol containing polymeric aggregates with acceptable particle charge. The electrophoretic deposition on glassy carbon or C/C-SiC slabs led to homogenous layers. At low sol concentrations micro cracks in the deposited layers were observed whereas higher concentrations led to thin and dense layers. During constant current EPD a constant voltage was recorded indicating that the deposited layer does not lead to an increase in resistivity in this kind of EPD system.
