ABSTRACTThe sol-gel process was used to incorporate organic dyes including Rhodamine 6G (Rh6G), 2-(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-phenyl) oxazole (4PyPO) and the n-methyl tosylate salt of 2-(4-pyridyl)-5-(4-methoxy phenyl)oxazole (4PyMPO-MePTS) in silica gel. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimeter (DSC) analysis of the dye doped gels showed that the gel structure loses the adsorbed water molecules from room temperature to 150°C and decomposition of the dye molecules followed at the higher temperature. Absorption and emission of the dyes in the sol-gel glass matrix were also studied and compared with the results of the dyes in alcohol solution. The environments of the dye in silica were different than in alcohol solution.

ABSTRACTThe preparation of eutectics in the system BaO-Al2O3-SiO2 by the conventional technique is carried out by fusions with intermittent crushing and grinding. Hydrolysis and polycondensa-tion of alkoxides in a suitable solvent provide a simple way to obtain the homogeneous baria-alumina-silica glasses. The physical and chemical changes which occur during the gel-to-glass conversion were investigated on gel powders by thermal gravimetric analyses, differential thermal analyses, mass spectroscopy, nitrogen sorption analyses, and dilatometry.By means of the sol-gel route it is also possible to prepare coating solutions in the Y-Ba-Cu-system. Coatings of composition YBa2Cu3O7−x were deposited on substrates using dip coating and characterized by scanning electron microscopy and measurements of superconducting temperature.

AbstractThe sol-gel process offers new opportunities for the synthesis of ionic materials, specially in the shape of thin films. Hydrous oxides are obtained which exhibit specific properties arising from strong interactions betwwen adsorbed water molecules and the oxide network. Sol-gel derived coatings are good candidates as electrode materials for lithium batteries or electrochromic devices. Their open structure allows easier diffusion of Li+ions in the liquid phase while electrons are delocalized through the oxide network. Moreover, water molecules favor the formation of ordered phases leading to the deposition of layers with preferred orientation. Electrochemical insertion can then be described as an intercalation process between solid particles.

AbstractThe solid host of a laser dye modifies its spectroscopic properties with respect to its liquid host. During the Sol-Gel process the dye molecules suffer from changing their environment. Two parameters affect this matter, the change in the concentration due to the evaporation of the solvent (drying) and the caging of dye molecules inside the pores or attachment to the silica network. Rhodamine 6G absorption and fluorescence spectra with different concentrations, during Sol-Gel time processing, have been studied. Both, absorption and fluorescence spectra of the dye in the solid host, for different concentrations, show a blue-shift relative to its liquid phase.

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.
