Sol-gel processing has been widely employed for the fabrication of lead zirconate titanate
(PZT) thin films. To successfully optimize thin film material properties for different …

Abstract One-dimensional (1D) zirconium dioxide nanofibers (ZrO2 NFs), as an important
inorganic material, have attracted significant attention because of their unique structural …

A fluorinated silyl functionalized zirconia was synthesized by the sol-gel method to fabricate
an extremely durable superhydrophobic coating on cotton fabrics by simple immersion …

The large-scale fibrous/aerogels composites are prepared by using zirconia fibrofelt (ZFF)
as skeleton to give high strength and ZrO 2-SiO 2 aerogels (ZSA) as filler to give excellent …

Acetylacetone-modified cerium (IV) isopropoxide precursors have been synthesized and
structurally characterized by means of IR and EXAFS analyses. Their hydrolysisyields …

The position of the surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band of Au nanoparticles was tailored
by controlling the refractive indices (n) of the embedding matrices, to develop different …

Continuous zirconia fibers with a nanometer ceramic structure and a tensile strength up to
2.8 GPa were fabricated by pyrolyzing polyacetylacetonatozirconium precursor fibers …

A one-pot reaction of zirconium oxychloride octahydrate (ZOC) with ethyl acetoacetate
(Hetac) in the presence of triethylamine was investigated. The reaction was carried out in …

Thin ZrO2-films have been deposited on stainless steel substrates by a sol-gel deposition
process based on zircon-tetra-n-propoxide. Various heat treatments were carried out. The …

Sol-gel zirconia films were deposited onto stainless steel and glass substrates by dip-
coating. The correlation between the withdrawal speed, the sol composition and the …
