A Method for Making Inorganic and Hybrid (Organic/Inorganic) Fibers and Vesicles with Diameters in the Submicrometer and Micrometer Range via Sol−Gel Chemistry and Electrically Forced Liquid Jets

Electrically driven liquid jets are combined with sol−gel methods to design vesicles and fibers made from inorganic oxides and hybrid materials with diameters in the micrometer and submicrometer range.

Description
Summary:Electrically driven liquid jets are combined with sol−gel methods to design vesicles and fibers made from inorganic oxides and hybrid materials with diameters in the micrometer and submicrometer range. The proposed materials synthesis method benefits greatly from the maturity of sol−gel chemistry and the generalities of a structure-directing phenomenon that is physical in nature.
