Background: Nanocomposite glycerohydrogels based on biocompatible elementcontaining glycerolates are of practicular interest for biomedical applications.
Objective: Using two biocompatible precursors, silicon and iron glycerolates, a new bioactive nanocomposite silicon‒iron glycerolates hydrogel was obtained by sol-gel method.
Methods: The composition and structural features of the hydrogel were studied using a complex of modern analytical techniques, including TEM, XRD, and AES.
