Removal of malachite green from water bodies is an environmental concern of utmost priority. It requires adsorbents that can efficiently operate under real conditions. In view of this, a new polyacrylic acid based nano-hybrid polymer was synthesized by using sol-gel method in which acrylic acid acts as an organic part and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) as an inorganic component. The new series of two other nano-hybrid polymers were also synthesized by using nanoparticles of iron oxide and titanium dioxide. The synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were extensively characterized using FTIR and XRD spectroscopic techniques. Further the synthesized nano-hybrid polymers were subjected to swelling studies with respect to different parameter such as time, temperature and pH. Malachite green was used as a cationic dye for studying the uptake behavior of synthesized polymers. Maximum retention capacity (MRC) and reusability of hybrid polymers were also evaluated up to ten cycles. The hybrid polymer, poly(AAc)/TEOS was more effective with high dye retention capacity.

AbstractPhotosensitive organic-inorganic hybrid polymers were synthesised for integrated optical and optoelectronic devices by a non-hydrous sol-gel process of hydrolysis/condensation of 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), diphenyldimethoxysilane (DPhDMS), and zirconium isopropoxide (TPZ) with boric acid under anhydrous conditions. The methacryl groups of MPS are UVpolymerizable, which are suitable for low cost fabrication of waveguides with a “UV write/develop” process. The incorporation of DPhDMS and TPZ was found useful in reducing the optical loss and in enhancing the thermostability of the polymer. The refractive index of the hybrid polymer is tuneable from 1.4950 to 1.5360 by variation of the ratio among MPS, DPhDMS and TPZ. Optical characterisation showed that the material has low optical losses at the telecommunications windows (0.16 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.4 dB/cm at 1550nm). The hybrid polymer also showed a low birefringence (1.2×10-4), a large thermo-optic (TO) coefficient (-2.77 ×10-4), and an outstanding linearity of dn/dT in a wide range of temperature (from 25 °C to 200 °C). Waveguides forming ability for the hybrid polymer with UV imprinting was also demonstrated.

AbstractReal 3-D sub-νm lithography was performed with two-photon polymerization (2PP) using inorganic-organic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER®) resins. The hybrid polymers were synthesized by hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions (modified sol-gel synthesis) which allows one to tailor their material properties towards the respective applications, i.e., dielectrics, optics or passivation. Due to their photosensitive organic functionalities, ORMOCER®s can be patterned by conventional photo-lithography as well as by femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm. This results in polymerized (solid) structures where the non-polymerized parts can be removed by conventional developers.ORMOCER® structures as small as 200 nm or even below were generated by 2PP of the resins using femtosecond laser pulses. It is demonstrated that ORMOCER®s have the potential to be used in components or devices built up by nm-scale structures such as, e.g., photonic crystals. Aspects of the materials in conjunction to the applied technology are discussed.

In this study, we have investigated the surface analysis and optoelectronic properties on the synthesis of N-CNT/TiO2 composites thin films, using sol gel method for a dye synthetized solar cell (DSSC) which is found to be simple and economical route. The titanium dioxide based solar cells are an exciting photovoltaic candidate; they are promising for the realization of large area devices. That can be synthetized by room temperature solution processing, with high photoactive performance. In the present work, we stated comparable efficiencies by directing our investigation on obtaining Sol Gel thin films based on N-CNT/TiO2, by dispersing nitrogen (N) doped carbon nanotubes (N-CNTs) powders in titanium tetraisopropoxyde (TTIP). The samples were assessed in terms of optical properties, using UV—visible absorption spectroscopic techniques. After careful analysis of the results, we have concluded that the mentioned route is good and more efficient in terms of optoelectronic properties. The gap of “the neat” 0.00w% N-CNT/TiO2 is of 3eV, which is in a good agreement with similar gap of semiconductors. The incorporated “w%NCNTs” led to diminishing the Eg with increasing N-CNTs amount. These consequences are very encouraging for optoelectronic field.

In this work a novel three-dimensional ostechondral substitute is proposed that is made of an inorganic/organic hybrid material, namely collagen/hydroxyapatite. The two components of the substitute have been characterized separately. The inorganic part, a hydroxyapatite scaffold, was fabricated by a polymer sponge templating method using a reactive sub-micron powder synthesized in our laboratory by hydroxide precipitation sol-gel route. The organic part, a collagen scaffold, was fabricated by a freeze-dying technique varying design parameters. Both the parts were analysed by scanning electron microscopy and their mechanical properties assessed by compression tests. The hydroxyapatite scaffold showed a high and highly interconnected porosity and a mechanical strength equal to 0.55 MPa, higher than those reported in literature. The collagen scaffolds were seeded by chondrocytes, processed for histology analysis and tested in compression. The biological tests proved the ability of the scaffolds to be positively populated by chondrocytes and the mechanical analysis showed that the mechanical strength of the scaffolds significantly increased after 3 weeks of culture.

In the current paper, the nanoparticles of cobalt iron oxide doped by chromium (CIC) of (CrxCoFe2-xO4) formula were prepared by sol-gel method using the nitrate salts of the elements composed of this nanomaterial. The characteristic properties of CIC nanoparticles prepared were determined using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) in addition to scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and also examination of the surface area (BET). These tests showed that the CIC nanoparticle prepared was in a pure phase, in addition to having various functional groups; moreover their structural framework includes multiple pores, which was the reason for the high surface area, reached to 223.36 m2.g-1. The prepared CIC nanoparticle was applied as an adsorbent to recover the malachite green dye from aqueous contaminated solutions in a batch mode adsorption unit and under different operating conditions. Designing factors used to determine the efficiency of the CIC as an adsorption media for the organic dye included the acidic function (pH), contact time and amount of nanomaterial CIC. The obtained practical results showed that the removal efficiency of the malachite green dye using CIC nanoparticle was 88.519% at 50 ppm of the initial concentration of the contaminated solution and that the percentage removal was directly proportional to the amount of adsorbent, contact time and acidic function.

AbstractNew fluorinated inorganic-organic hybrid polymers (ORMOCER*s) for integrated optics were synthesized via hydrolysis and condensation (sol-gel processing) of functionalized pentafluorophenylalkoxysi lanes followed by organic crosslinking reactions. Process parameters (catalyst, temperature and ratio of educts) were optimized to achieve low transmission losses at the most important wavelengths for telecommunication in the NIR range: 1310 nm and 1550 nm.The result is a photopatternable transparent ORMOCER (negative resist behavior) with excellent low losses: 0.20 dB/cm at 1310 nm and 0.30 dB/cm at 1550 nm.Besides their high transparency the fluorinated ORMOCERs show a variety of other properties enabling their use as waveguide materials within the production of optoelectronic devices and related thin film technology: good wetting and adhesion on various substrates (e.g. glass, silicon and several polymers), low processing temperatures (postbake below 160 °C), high thermal stability (decomposition > 250°C) and a tunable refractive index.

Abstract In this study, mixed phase ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite consisting of hexagonal ZnO and anatase/rutile TiO2 has been synthesized via sol-gel process.The physical and photochemical properties of samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (UV-vis DRS), photoluminscience spectra (PL) and and photocurrent action spectra techniques. In the case of minerlization of rhodamine B (RhB) and malachite green (MG) dyes, the coupled ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite with the suitable band structure and the lowest photoluminescence intensity showed the best photodecolorization activity. Synergistic effects between the two oxides for photocatalytic decomposition of RhB and MG are proposed to elucidate the decolorization mechanism. The lifetime of electrons and holes was prolonged in the ZnO-anatase/rutile multiple-component system, which can enhance the light harvest and the ability of generating photo-induced electron-hole pairs of active sites, and the favorable electron-transfer properties in the coupled ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite. Therefore, the as-prepared ZnO-TiO2 nanocomposite showed an excellent efficiency towards the removal of aqueous organic dyes and it is of certain significance for environmental photocatalysis.
