<p>Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a unique material having high adsorption capacity of heavy metals, high ion exchange capacity, high biological compatibility, low water solubility, high stability under reducing and oxidizing conditions, availability and low cost. Hydroxyapatite nanoparticles have been synthesized by Sol-gel method using Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate [Ca(NO<sub>3</sub>)<sub>2</sub>•4H<sub>2</sub>O] and Phosphorus pentaoxide (P<sub>2</sub>O<sub>5</sub>) as starting reactants. The addition of Phosphorus pentaoxide to Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate was carried out slowly with simultaneous stirring. After addition, solution was aged for 10 minutes for maturation. The precipitate was dried at 80 °C overnight and further heat treated at 550 °C for 2 hours. The dried and calcined particles were characterized by X-ray diffractometry, Fourier transform infra-red spectroscopy and Thermo gravimetric analysis. The particle size and morphology were studied using transmission electron microscopy. TEM examination of the treated powders displayed particles of polygon morphology with dimensions 20-50 nm in length. The FT-IR spectra for sample confirmed the formation of hydroxyapatite.</p>

CaO-SiO2 gels for bioactive organic-inorganic composites were prepared from tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2⋅4H2O) by a sol-gel method with the addition of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS). The effects of PEG and MPS on morphology and bioactivity of the gel were investigated. The samples with the nominal compositions of Ca(NO3)2:TEOS:MPS = 30:70:0 and 30:63:7 (in molar ratio) were prepared with or without coexistence of PEG at a molar ratio of (TEOS+MPS):PEG = 70:0.16. Spherical powders were obtained regardless of the addition of MPS after removal of PEG by washing, whereas the samples prepared without PEG gave crack-free bulk bodies. Incorporation of MPS was confirmed form the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). All the samples, regardless of addition of PEG and MPS, formed apatite on their surfaces in simulated body fluid (SBF), when washing time was 3 h during the preparation. These results show that the bioactive spherical powder of CaO-SiO2 gel modified with MPS can be obtained by the present method. It is expected to induce the increase of the chemical bonding with surrounding organic matrix when it was used as fillers for composite materials.

The nanocrystalline HA powders were produced through sol-gel method which employed calcium nitrate tetrahydrate [Ca(NO3)2.4H2O] and diammonium hydrogen phosphate [(NH4)2HPO4] as calcium and phosphorous precursors. Sodium ion (Na+) is one of the trace elements found in biological apatite and believed to have important effect in its performance. The concentrations of sodium dopant were varied from 0 mol% until 15 mol% by using sodium nitrate (NaNO3) as the source of dopant. Characterization of nanopowders was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infra red (FTIR) and Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM). XRD analysis revealed that there are no other phases exist in the synthesized powder, evinced single phase of HA and a trend shows an increase of cristallinity with increase of sodium dopant concentration. While the TEM images showed evidence that the particle sizes were bigger with the increasing sodium concentration, showing the effect of sodium dopant on the densification of the powder.

The present paper shows an overview related to the preparation and characterization of different nano-materials such as: silica, alumina, di- and tri-calcium silicates and a composite in the ternary CaO-SiO2-Al2O3 system. These nano-materials are related to the construction area so some basic tests are carried out to evaluate their cementitious and/or pozzolanic behavior. The nano-ceramics have been synthesized via hydrolysis and condensation of aqueous sol-gel method modified with surfactants using different precursors such as: tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), calcium nitrate tetrahydrate (Ca(NO3)2.4H2O), sodium silicate (Na2O.SiO2), aluminum nitrate nonahydrate (Al(NO3)3•9H2O) and an industrial aluminum hydroxide (gibbsite). The synthesis parameters such as: pH, temperature, kind of surfactants, etc., are reported. To characterize the structural, chemical composition, particle size and morphology of the nanoparticles, different techniques such as: Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission electron microscopy (FESEM) and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM) are used.

A series of Y0.2ZrxCe0.8−xO1.9 compounds (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.6) had been prepared by the modified sol-gel method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermo-gravimetric analysis, four-probe resistivity, and Vickers’s hardness studies. The gels from co-precipitation were treated with heated 1-octanol. All of the samples showed fluoride structure after calcined at 600 °C. Sintering the powders of Y0.2Ce0.8O1.9 and Y0.2Zr0.6Ce0.2O1.9 at 1300 °C gave the relative density of 95.8% and 99%, respectively. 99% relative density could be obtained for all samples after sintering at 1500 °C. This study showed a much more improved result than that of the previous reports. The hardness was 13.7 GPa for the Y0.2Zr0.6Ce0.2O1.9 pellet, which was twice greater than that for Y0.2Ce0.8O1.9 (7.1 GPa). Therefore, the mechanical properties could be improved by the addition of ZrO2 to Y0.2ZrxCe0.8−xO1.9. At 800 °C, the electrical conductivity of Y0.2Ce0.8O1.9 and Y0.2Zr0.6Ce0.2O1.9 were 3.3 × 10−2 S/cm and 5.5 × 10−3 S/cm, respectively. The conductivity was decreased by the addition of ZrO2 to Y0.2Ce0.8O1.9. It showed that the conductivity and hardness of Y0.2Zr0.2Ce0.6O1.9 were 1.2 × 10−2 S/cm and 9.6 GPa, respectively, at 800 °C and could be a better electrolyte candidate for “intermediate-temperature” unitized regenerative solid oxide fuel cells.

Aluminum titanate (Al2TiO5) film was prepared via sol-gel method at low temperature, using ethyl acetoacetate and anhydrous citric acid as compound chelating agent, tetrabutyl titanate (Ti (OC4H9)4) and aluminum chloride (AlCl3.6H2O) as precursors, ethanol as solvent. The phase transformation of Al2TiO5 xerogel during heat treatment, the effect of different chelating agents on the synthesis of Al2TiO5, and the phase composition and morphology of film were investigated by means of differential thermal and thermo gravimetric analysis (DTA-TG), X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The results demonstrate that Al2TiO5 can be synthesized at 750 °C by using compound chelating agent, rather than single chelating agent. Compound chelating agent contributes to the formation of Al-O-Ti heterogeneous bond, which is the key to preparing Al2TiO5 at low temperature. High quality Al2TiO5 film could be coated on the SiC substract at 750°C.

Cotton fabrics were treated by one-step sol-gel method. The pure silica hydrosol and phosphorus-doped hydrosol were prepared with the addition of a hydrophobic hexadecyltrimethoxysilane to decrease the surface energy of cotton fabric. The thermal properties and water repellency of treated cotton fabric were characterized by thermo-gravimetric analysis, micro combustion, limiting oxygen index, and contact angle measurement. The results showed that cotton fabric treated by phosphorus-doped silica hydrosol had excellent flame retardance, and the water repellence was apparently improved with the addition of hexadecyltrimethoxysilane.

In this paper, low temperature, economical sol–gel combustion method was adopted to synthesize wollastonite ceramic. Calcium nitrate tetrahydrate and tetraethyl orthosilicate were taken as source for Ca and Si, while citric acid and nitric acid were used as chelating/combustion agents. The yielded powder calcined at 600[Formula: see text]C for 4 h was characterized by FTIR, XRD and SEM techniques. Results showed that the citrate combustion method was the most efficient method to prepare wollastonite at low temperature. Moreover, in vitro bioactivity test performed in simulated body fluid (SBF) showed good bioactivity of synthesized wollastonite ceramics.
