ABSTRACTThe aqueous polycondensation of resorcinol with formaldehyde proceeds through a sol-gel transition and results in the formation of highly crosslinked, transparent gels. If the solvent is simply evaporated from the pores of these gels, large capillary forces are exerted and a collapsed structure known as a xerogel is formed. In order to preserve

Superhydrophobic nitric oxide-releasing xerogels
Acta Biomaterialia, 2014Superhydrophobic nitric oxide (NO)-releasing xerogels were prepared by spray-coating a fluorinated silane/silica composite onto N-diazeniumdiolate NO donor-modified xerogels. The thickness of the superhydrophobic layer was used to extend NO release durations from 59 to 105h.

Silica xerogels as pharmaceutical drug carriers
Expert Opinion on Drug Delivery, 2009This review focuses on silica xerogels obtained by the sol-gel method and their application as drug delivery systems. SiO(2) xerogels are potential biomaterials to be used as matrix materials for the extended and controlled release of different kinds of biologically active agents administered by various routes.

Low-frequency dynamics in silica xerogels
Journal of Physics: Condensed Matter, 1996Brillouin and Raman experiments have been performed in hydrogenated silica sol - gel and vitreous silica samples made by sol - gel processes (xerogels) and by the melting powder method. The aim of this work has been the study of the low-frequency dynamics of sol - gel systems in comparison with that of amorphous silica.

The Structure of Confined Oxygen in Silica Xerogels
Science, 1995The microscopic structure of oxygen confined in silica xerogels has been studied as a function of temperature. In large pores, a crystalline solid forms with a structure consistent with that of the bulk. The size of the crystallites is much larger than the pore size, indicating that cooperative effects among pores are ...

Preparation of Aerogel and Xerogel Nanocomposite Materials
MRS Proceedings, 1999ABSTRACTSol-gel method was used to prepare nickel oxide-silica and iron oxide-silica nanocomposites materials in form of aerogels and xerogels. The samples were characterized by thermal analysis, X-ray diffraction, N2 physisorption and transmission electron microscopy techniques.

Applied Catalysis B: Environmental, 2012
Abstract Carbon xerogels prepared at different pH and ceria–carbon xerogel materials with different compositions and synthesized by different procedures were evaluated as catalysts in the ozonation of oxalic acid and the textile dye CI Reactive Blue 5.

Structure of Hybrid Colloid−Polymer Xerogels
Langmuir, 2004Crack-free monolithic gels were prepared from different mixtures of colloidal silica with a sol solution containing tetraethoxysilane, under powerful ultrasonic agitation (sonosol). Recently, information on the structure of these gels, inferred from N2 adsorption and mercury intrusion porosimetry, was presented.

Carbon xerogels as catalyst supports: Study of mass transfer
AIChE Journal, 2006AbstractHydrodechlorination of 1,2‐dichloroethane on Pd‐Ag alloys was used as a test reaction in order to study mass transfer in carbon xerogel supports. The selected supports were obtained from evaporative drying and pyrolysis of resorcinol‐formaldehyde aqueous gels. Since the pore texture of these materials can be tailored through the adequate choice
