Opis

A summary of fifteen years of research of sol-gel processing of silica leading to the development of gel-silica optics and bioactive gel-glasses for medical applications. Each of the seven stages of sol-gel processing is described, emphasizing the control of the ultra-structural variables necessary to make reproducible materials. A unique feature of the book is the emphasis on the practical outcome of the processing studies (i.e. commercially viable production of the net shape, net surface, monolithic optical components). Contents Include: The Concept Sol-Gel Kinetics Aging Drying Stabilization Densification Laser Densification Gel-Silica Optics Porous Gel-Silica Optical Matrices Biological Implications Technology Transfer of Gel-Silica Optics.
