Highly Absorbent Silk Fibroin Protein Xerogel
ACS Biomaterials Science & Engineering, 2021Highly absorbent polymers have a wide range of applications in biomaterials, agriculture, physiological products of daily uses, and others. Silk fibroin, as a natural biomaterial with excellent biocompatibility and tunable mechanical properties, shows good prospects in the field of biomedicine applications.

MRS Proceedings, 1992
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

Optically active doped xerogel
Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids, 1992Abstract Using the sol-gel process, organic dye molecules have been trapped and individually encaged in a solid xerogel matrix. These doping molecules were aligned by a focussed femtosecond laser pulse, thus creating a local birefringence. The molecule alignment is permanent. An optical memory matrix is thus experimentally achieved.

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.

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.

OPTOGELs: optically active xerogels
SPIE Proceedings, 1992Using the sol-gel process, we synthesized zirconia/silica matrices doped with different organic dyes (rhodamine 640, ...). These samples were used to perform optical Kerr effect experiments with sequences of ultrashort light pulses (100 fs, 620 nm, 1 (mu) J focused on 50 micrometers diameter) to induce refractive index changes.

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.

Abstract 1. 1. Ultrastructure of cellulose (cell wall) xerogels of Japanese pears was compared with that of chitin xerogels chemically prepared, and molecular assemblies of chitin chains to gels was examined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). 2. 2.

Low-Energy Vibration Excess in Silica Xerogels
Physical Review Letters, 1997Specific heat (1.5-25 K) and Raman scattering (below 100cm −1 in silica xerogels permit one to assess the frequency dependence of the coupling coefficient C(ω)and the low-energy density of states g(ω) Different network connectivity does not change the shape of the quasielastic scattering, but alters the spectral shape of C(ω)The results permit one to ...
