Sol–gel derived films exhibit a high potential as substitutes for the environmentally
unfriendly chromate metal-surface pre-treatment methods. Inorganic sol–gel derived films …

The experimental results on the synthesis and physical properties of tetraethoxysilane-
(TEOS) based silica aerogels produced by two step (acid–base) sol–gel process, are …

Silica aerogels are sol− gel-derived materials consisting of interconnected nanoparticle
building blocks that form an open and highly porous three-dimensional silica network …

The experimental results on the physical and hydrophobic properties of the ambient
pressure dried silica aerogels as a function of sol-gel and drying conditions, are reported …

Hybrid superhydrophobic sol-gel coatings were synthesized and applied on glass
substrates. Low surface energy was obtained by using hydrophobic organo-functionalized …

Every year loss of crop yield (at least 20–40%) occurs by pathogenic infections that leads to
loss of billions of dollars worldwide. Usage of antibiotics are limited in numerous countries …

Products designed to form continuous inorganic networks from alkoxysilanes frequently
include organic solvents because of the necessity to turning the precursors miscible with …

In the present study, tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) aerogel was produced by a two-step catalytic
process at ambient pressure drying under different synthesis conditions. The relationship of …

The aim of the present study was to utilize the sol-gel method to synthesize different forms of
xerogel matrices for drugs and to investigate how the synthesis conditions and solubility of …

The experimental results on the synthesis and physical properties of tetraethoxysilane
(TEOS) based superhydrophobic silica aerogels, obtained by single step sol–gel process …
