Controllable transport mean free path of light in xerogel matrixes embedded with polystyrene spheres [PDF]
, 2008 Xerogel matrices, made by sol-gel techniques, are embedded with polystyrene spheres to promote multiple scattering of light. Varying the concentration of the spheres inside the matrix allows one to adjust the transport mean free path of light inside the ...

Nanoporous Xerogel for Adsorption of Pb2+ and Cd2+ [PDF]
Journal of Nanostructures, 2015 Classical xerogels are robust, inexpensive and nontoxic materials with low-ordered nanoporous structures. In water streams where the pH is higher than the Point of Zero Charge, the surface of classical xerogels such as tetraethoxy orthosilan (TEOS ...

Nanocellulose Xerogel as Template for Transparent, Thick, Flame-Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites
Nanomaterials, 2021 Cellulose nanofibers (CNFs) have excellent properties, such as high strength, high specific surface areas (SSA), and low coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE), making them a promising candidate for bio-based reinforcing fillers of polymers. A challenge

Investigation of silica - PVA xerogel microstructure evolution during thermal treatment by SANS experiment [PDF]
, 2004 The purpose of the study was to investigate the appearance of certain microstructures developing in the SiO2/PVA nanocomposite xerogels at different temperatures by small-angle neutron scattering (SANS). The samples were prepared by the alcoxide route of

Porosity in Polysilsesquioxane Xerogels [PDF]
MRS Proceedings, 1999 ABSTRACTPolymerization of organotrialkoxysilanes is a convenient method for introducing organic functionality into hybrid organic-inorganic materials. However, not much is known about the effects of the organic substituent on the porosity of the resulting xerogels.
