Recent years mesoporous bioactive glasses (MBGs) have become important biomaterials because of their high surface area and the superior bioactivity. Various studies have reported that when MBGs implanted in a human body, hydroxyl apatite layers, constituting the main inorganic components of human bones, will form on the MBG surfaces to increase the bioactivity. Therefore, MBGs have been widely applied in the fields of tissue regeneration and drug delivery. The sol-gel process has replaced the conventional glasses process for MBG synthesis because of the advantages of low contamination, chemical flexibility and lower calcination temperature. In the sol-gel process, several types of surfactants were mixed with MBG precursor solutions to generate micelle structures. Afterwards, these micelles decompose to form porous structures after calcination. Although calcination is significant for contamination, crystalline and surface area in MBG, to the best of the authors’ knowledge, only few systematic studies related to calcination were reported. This study correlated the calcination parameters and the microstructure of MBGs. Microstructure evaluation was characterized by transmission electron microscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption. The experimental results show that the surface area and the pore size of MBGs decreased with the increasing of the calcination temperature, and decreased dramatically at 800°C due to the formation of crystalline phases.

High surface area porous silicon carbide was synthesized by a modified sol-gel method. In the sol-gel method, furfuryl alcohol and tetraethoxysilane were used respectively as carbon and silicon precursors for preparing a carbonaceous silica xerogel. Polymethylhydrosiloxane (PMHS) was employed as pore-adjusting agent in the sol-gel process. SiC was obtained by the carbothermal reduction of the carbonaceous silica xerogel at 1300 oC in argon flow and then purified by removing excess silica, carbon and other impurities. XRD、FTIR、SEM、HRTEM and BET were used to characterize the SiC samples. The results show that the SiC products are found to have high specific surface area of 135 m2 /g. PMHS has important effect on the surface area, pore volume of the SiC products. It is therefore suggested that PMHS plays the role of structure-directing agent that enhances the production of mesoporous pores in the SiC products.
