Some types of polymer solutions exhibit sol-to-gel transitions in response to a temperature increase. Thermogelling polymer systems having sol-to-gel transition points between room temperature (r.t.) ...
The sol-gel synthesis process begins with the preparation of a sol, where metal or metalloid precursors are dissolved in a solvent. These precursors undergo hydrolysis and polymerization reactions, ...
Sol-gel manufacturing can be used to create various high-performance solids including glasses and ceramics. In the field of glass production, sol-gel techniques are a reliable low-temperature ...
