TiO_2 nanoparticles(NPs)were prepared via the hydrothermal route of TiO_2 xerogel in nitric acid, hydrochloric acid and acetic acid. The physico-chemical properties of the powders were characterized by X-ray diffracti...
In the present study, sol-gel process is used to synthesize P-doped TiO2 xerogels by the cogelation method of a functionalized P alkoxide, (NH2-(CH2)2-NH-(CH2)2-P(O)-(OC2H5)2) with Ti(OC3H7)4 in either 2-methoxyethano...
Sol-gel derived silica has tremendous applications as a biocompatible scaffold for the immobilization of cells. The use of xerogel as a matrix in the blueprint of biosensors is an appealing proposition due to several ...
The extractant tri-n-octylamine (TOA) was encapsulated in calcium alginate (CaALG) xerogel polymer matrices and the selective separation of Au(III) ions in HCI solution was investigated. The features of the TOA ...
Today, demand exists for cost-effective production of industrially important enzymes from entire scientific sectors. By keeping in mind the extensive industrial applications of cellulase, this study was performed to i...
