Sol-Gel - A Versatile and Wide Technology: A Versatile and Wide Technology

PUBLISHER Intechopen (06/18/2025)
PRODUCT TYPE Hardcover (Hardcover)

Description
The sol-gel method is a powerful and versatile wet chemical process for synthesizing advanced materials, particularly oxide-based nanostructures. Its ability to produce materials in various forms, such as powders, thin films, fibers, and aerogels, makes it a valuable tool in fields ranging from electronics and energy to medicine and environmental science. This book provides a comprehensive overview of sol-gel technology, highlighting its cost-effectiveness, flexibility, and precise control over material properties. Special attention is given to developing sustainable sol-gel processes in response to increasing environmental concerns. Emerging eco-friendly synthesis routes, including using plant extracts, biopolymers, and non-toxic solvents, are explored as natural polymerizing agents and reaction media. These green approaches offer a sustainable alternative to conventional methods, reducing the need for hazardous chemicals while maintaining high-performance material characteristics. By exploring both traditional and innovative sol-gel techniques, this volume serves as an essential resource for researchers, scientists, and industry professionals seeking to harness the full potential of sol-gel technology in modern material development.
