Course unit content

<br />
1) preparation of silica xerogels in different reaction conditions. Correlations between macroscopic properties and the structure of the obtained materials.<br />
<br />
2) preparation by sol-gel method of hybrid materials containing mono- bi and tri-dentate amines. Use of the xerogels as metal absorbants for acqueous solutions. Coordination chemistry on a supported phase.<br />
 <br />
3) Practical experiments of FTIR spectrophotometry: acquisition of spectra by trasmission techniques, (KBr pellet, nujol, solution), HATR (ZnSe and diamond crystals) and microspectrophotometry. <br />
<br />
4) Preparation of glass fibers by sol gel method.
