Synthesis, Luminescent and Antibacterial Properties of Sol-Gel TiO/TeO/NbO Powders.

The present paper deals with the synthesis, characterization, and properties of sol-gel-derived TiO/TeO/NbO nanopowders. The gels were prepared using a combination of organic [Ti (IV) n-butoxide, Nb (V) ethoxide (CHNbO)] and inorganic [telluric acid (HTeO)] precursors. The aging of gels was performed in air for several days in order to enable further hydrolysis.

Optical Properties and Antimicrobial Activity of Si/PVP Hybrid Material Combined with Antibiotics.

Silica-poly (vinylpyrrolidone) hybrid material was prepared using the sol-gel method. Tetramethyl ortosilane (TMOS) was used as a silica precursor. XRD analysis established that the as-prepared material is amorphous.

Sol-Gel Synthesis of Silica-Poly (Vinylpyrrolidone) Hybrids with Prooxidant Activity and Antibacterial Properties.

The present work deals with the sol-gel synthesis of silica-poly (vinylpyrrolidone) hybrid materials. The nanohybrids (Si-PVP) have been prepared using an acidic catalyst at ambient temperature. Tetramethyl ortosilane (TMOS) was used as a silica precursor.
