Hydrophobic Modification of ZrO2-SiO2 Xerogel and Its Adsorption Properties to Rhodamine B
Zirconium nitrate pentahydrate (Zr(NO3)4·5H2O) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) are used as the zirconium source and silicon source, respectively, and methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) as the hydrophobic modifier; the hydrophilic and hydrophobic ZrO2-SiO2 ...

Self‐Assembly of Organic–Inorganic Copolymers Toward Bio‐Inspired Cementitious Composites
Organic–inorganic copolymerization of calcium silicate hydrate and thioctic acid produces a self‐organized nanocomposite inspired by the disordered collagen–mineral architecture of trabecular bone. The resulting material combines a compressive strength above 300 MPa with intrinsic physical reprocessibility, retaining over 80% of its strength and energy

Nanocellulose Xerogel as Template for Transparent, Thick, Flame-Retardant Polymer Nanocomposites
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

This work proposes the synthesis of carbon‐based nanostructured materials obtained using ZnO as both nanos‐ template and catalysts simultaneously. During the synthesis, GO was used as a stabiliser, preventing the collapse of the 3D structure and improving its properties in terms of capacitance and surface area.

Multi‐Scale Investigation of Supramolecular Organogels Assembled From Pt(II)‐Salphen Complexes
A family of Pt(II)‐salphen complexes with long alkyl chains is investigated as low‐molecular‐weight organogelators. Multi‐scale characterization of their supramolecular gels reveals how the chain length, Pt‐Pt interactions, and π–π stacking direct self‐assembly and tune gel mechanics.

Agar xerogel was used to immobilize cellulase. Properties of partially purified cellulase from Aspergillus foetidus and commercial cellulase were compared after immobilization. Abstract This research study is a comparative study of the characteristics of partially purified cellulase produced from Aspergillus foetidus through solid‐state fermentation ...
