Preparation and characterization of boron-based bioglass by sol−gel process

45S5 bioglass has been widely studied in the last few decades because of its bioactivity and promising applications in the biomedical field. Boron, even few studied, represents a potential element to improve the properties of the 45S5 bioglass derivatives. The bioglasses are conventionally prepared by heat treatment of oxides and silicon. Here, the sol?gel method is proposed for the preparation of the boron-based 45S5 bioglass (45S5B) and the classical 45S5 bioglass (45S5), using water-soluble salts as raw materials. The bioglasses were characterized by FTIR, XRD, and SEM, indicating the success of the sol?gel method for preparation of the samples. The bioglasses were also tested in vitro for bioactivity in biological conditions and cytotoxicity against eukaryotic cells. The bioactivity of 45S5B was similar to the bioactivity of 45S5 bioglass, indicated by the deposition of hydroxyapatite crystals at the surface of the pristine bioglasses. The results of cytotoxicity tests revealed that the IC₅₀ of 45S5B (IC₅₀?=?7.56?mg?mL^?1) was similar to the IC₅₀ of 45S5 (IC₅₀?=?8.15?mg?mL^?1), indicating its safety for application in the biomedical field.

Effect of glycerol on the optical and physical properties of sol–gel glass matrices

Glass samples are prepared with different amount of glycerol as drying control chemical additive (DCCA) via acid catalysed sol–gel method. These samples are given solvent treatment namely rinse and dip with methanol while drying of the sample. In rinse treatment solid sample is rinsed with small amount of methanol while in dip treatment sample is dipped for 5 h in methanol. Comparative studies of these treated samples containing varied DCCA concentration are carried out by measuring optical transmission, mechanical strength and bulk density. Various instrumental techniques used for analysis are FTIR, DTA-TGA, XRD, SEM and TEM. The untreated samples take long time to dry up and to come out of the cuvette and show very less transmission in UV region which is much enhanced by solvent treatment. On the basis of this study, the solvent treated glass samples with DCCA amount 8 ml in the composition used are found to have the maximum UV transmission, good mechanical strength and may be useful as silica gel host matrices for solid state dye lasers and other applications. The UV transmission reported in the present studies is 90% in 337 nm region, which is the wavelength of N₂ laser pumping.

Transition from transparent aerogels to hierarchically porous monoliths in polymethylsilsesquioxane sol-gel system

A transition from hierarchical pore structures (macro- and meso-pores) to uniform mesopores in monolithic polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ, CH(3)SiO(1.5)) gels has been investigated using a sol-gel system containing surfactant Pluronic F127. The precursor methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) undergoes an acid/base two-step reaction, in which hydrolysis and polycondensation proceed in acidic and basic aqueous media, respectively, as a one-pot reaction. Porous morphology is controlled by changing the concentration of F127. Sufficient concentrations of F127 inhibit the occurrence of micrometer-scale phase separation (spinodal decomposition) of hydrophobic PMSQ condensates and lead to well-defined mesoporous transparent aerogels with high specific pore volume as a result of the colloidal network formation in a large amount of solvent. Phase separation regulates well-defined macropores in the micrometer range on decreasing concentrations of F127. In the PMSQ-rich gelling domain formed by phase separation, the PMSQ colloidal network formation forms mesopores, leading to monolithic PMSQ gels with hierarchical macro- and meso-pore structures. Mesopores in these gels do not collapse on evaporative drying owing to the flexible networks and repulsive interactions of methyl groups in PMSQ.     

Phase Separation in Methylsiloxane Sol-Gel Systems in a Small Confined Space

The organo-siloxane gel with co-continuous structure derived from methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) was synthesized in a confined space between parallel plates by inducing spinodal decomposition during sol-gel transition. The resultant gel morphology was 3-dimensionally observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM). The sliced LSCM photographs revealed that the confined gels have inhomogeneity perpendicular to the plate, exhibiting a layered structure. The layered structure can be divided into three regions according to their morphology; interface, near-surface layer, bulk phase. The organo-siloxane depletion layer had formed in the vicinity of both hydrophobic and hydrophilic plates, and the bulk phase had formed slight away from the plates exhibited co-continuous structure. In addition, the confined gels exhibited no shrinkage during drying process that resulted in the larger domain size compared to the monolithic gel. The attractive interaction between the plates and the resultant organo-siloxane phase accounts for the inhibition of shrinkage of confined gels.     

Silica-zirconia monoliths from gels

Zirconium propoxide and tetraethylorthosilicate were hydrolyzed in methoxyethanol which acts as stabilizer of zirconium and in presence of formamide or dimethylformamide as Drying Control Chemical Additives in order to obtain zirconia silica gels. The gels were dried at 70°C to get monolithic xerogels. The influence of zirconium content and DCCA on texture was determined. The evolution of these xerogels was investigated as a function of temperature between 70°C and 1000°C by thermogravimetry, differential scanning calorimetry, I.R. spectroscopy and R.X. diffractometry.     

Studies on Highly Porous Hybrids Prepared by a Novel Fast Gellation Process Under Ambient Pressure

Supercritical drying of hydrolyzed alkoxysilanes is a typical method for making aerogels that exhibit over 75% porosity. Recent works demonstrated the possibility to prepare, under ambient pressure, aerogel-type of highly porous materials. However, multiple step process is being required for surface modification of pore walls to avoid collapsing effect caused by drying shrinkage. We wish to describe in here a novel fast, single step sol-gel route for the preparation of ultra high porous materials. Commercially available hydrogensilsesquioxane was used as precursor in this approach, leading through a simple, single step process to gels within minutes and thus without any further surface modification needed. Systematic studies of this novel fast gellation process were carried out through careful variation of experimental conditions to gain porosity control and enable improved design of this class of ultra high porous monolithic materials.
