A bulk sol-gel process has been developed to prepare monolithic silica materials at room temperature. The process involves an acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethyl orthosilicate in tetrahydrofuran containing aqueous HC1 catalyst, followed by neutralization with carbonate salts, extraction with aliphatic nonpolar solvents, molding, gelation, and drying. This method shortens the processing time from weeks for the conventional sol-gel process to several days. The silica objects prepared from the process are transparent, crack-free, and of relatively low volume shrinkage (e.g., 52%) and high silica content (e.g., 82%).

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.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution 29Si NMR has been used to study the extent of cross condensation taking place in a hybrid organic/inorganic sol-gel system. Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltriethoxysilane (MTEOS) sol-gels were chosen for this purpose. The sols were prepared by acid catalyzed hydrolysis of TEOS and MTEOS with a H2O/Si ratio of 0.3. 29Si NMR shows signals due to both self-condensation and cross-condensation between TEOS and MTEOS. Resonance assignments were made by comparing the positions and intensities of peaks in the spectra of single and multicomponent systems. It was found that, within experimental error, the self- and cross-condensation rates are equal and that extensive molecular level mixing takes place during the early stages of the reaction.

45S5 Bioglass

Bioactive glass scaffolds are used in bone and tissue biomedical implants, and there is great interest in their fabrication by additive manufacturing/3D printing techniques, such as robocasting. Scaffolds need to be macroporous with voids ≥100 m to allow cell growth and vascularization, biocompatible and bioactive, with mechanical properties matching the host tissue (cancellous bone for bone implants), and able to dissolve/resorb over time. Most bioactive glasses are based on silica to form the glass network, with calcium and phosphorous content for new bone growth, and a glass modifier such as sodium, the best known being 45S5 Bioglass®. 45S5 scaffolds were first robocast in 2013 from melt-quenched glass powder. Sol–gel-synthesized bioactive glasses have potential advantages over melt-produced glasses (e.g., greater porosity and bioactivity), but until recently were never robocast as scaffolds, due to inherent problems, until 2019 when high-silica-content sol–gel bioactive glasses (HSSGG) were robocast for the first time. In this review, we look at the sintering, porosity, bioactivity, biocompatibility, and mechanical properties of robocast sol–gel bioactive glass scaffolds and compare them to the reported results for robocast melt-quench-synthesized 45S5 Bioglass® scaffolds. The discussion includes formulation of the printing paste/ink and the effects of variations in scaffold morphology and inorganic additives/dopants.

SiO2 antireflective films were prepared by two-step catalyzed sol-gel method with TEOS as the raw materials, acid and ammonia as catalyst. Effects of the ratio of acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed silica sols on the transmittance and stability of SiO2 film were investigated. The transmittance can be adjusted by change the ratio of base-catalyzed sols, and a higher transmittance can be obtained in the higher ratio of base-catalyzed coatings. A higher stability of SiO2 film in salt spray can be obtained in higher ratio of acid-catalyzed AR coatings. AR coatings with excellent transmittance and stability can be obtained by adjusting the ratio of acid/base catalyzed silica sols.

. 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.

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.

Colloidal silica (silica sol) nanoparticles were synthesized by ammonia- and hydrochloric acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane with subsequent condensation and polymerization. Silica particles with the size of 12‒160 nm were obtained at different temperatures and ratios of the initial reactants and studied by means of TEM, AFM, IR spectroscopy and zeta-potential measurements. The reaction conditions providing the minimum particle size in the final product of the most complete hydrolysis were determined. At pH above 8.5, an increase in the SiO2 content of the sol to 23 wt.% did not change the particle size. At a low (~ 1.8 wt.%) SiO2 content of the sol, a wide variation in pH also did not exert a significant effect on the particle size. Stability of the silica sols synthesized in an alkaline medium was enhanced by the replacement of alcohol with water during evaporation at pH 8.5‒9.5. The possibility to produce silica sols with the required characteristics (particle size, pH, stability, purity, and SiO2 content in an aqueous or alcohol medium) makes them applicable in various industries.
