Influence of processing parameters on diffusion of divalent nickel in wet silica sol-gel monoliths

Creator:: Dickson, David J.
Abstract:: The diffusion of divalent nickel (Ni²⁺) from wet silica gels was investigated. Silica gel is gaining interest as an encapsulation matrix for biological components. The transport of biologically relevant species within the gel is determined by the structural characteristics of the gel, which are in turn governed by synthesis parameters....
