Nano-hybrids Based on Other than Silicate

Nano-hybrids Based on Other than Silicate 

In order to obtain a nano-hybrid with higher mechanical properties, PDMS was replaced with poly(tetramethylene oxide) (PTMO) [41]. PTMO-Ti02 nano-hybrids were prepared by a sol-gel method from triethoxysilane functionalized PTMO (Si-PTMO) and tetraisopropyltitanate with weight ratios of 30/70, 40/60 and 

Miyazaki et al. [43] reported that a sol-gel-derived Ta2Os gel shows hydroxyapatite-forming ability in SBF even in the amorphous state. Therefore, PTM0-Ta205 nano-hybrids prepared by a sol-gel method can be expected to form hydroxyapatite in SBF without any treatment. PTMO-CaO-Ta2Os nano-hybrids were prepared by
