Abstract
Despite of several decades lasting extensive research of bioactive and bioresorbable glasses the systematic parametrization and determination of the key factors affecting porosity and thermomechanical characteristics still remains challenging. Here, we present silica-phosphate glasses, with the composition 70SiO2–20P2O5–(10-x)CaO–xTiO2 (mol%; x = 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5), prepared by sol-gel method and reinforced by titanium dioxide via titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) incorporation which demonstrated tunable variation of porosity from micro-to macro-region and superb mechanical integrity during the calcination process. The presence of 7.5 mol% TiO2 promotes dimensional stability up to 1000 °C as investigated by thermomechanical analysis. The XRD showed the dominant presence of silicon phosphate [Si(P2O7)], titanium phosphate [Ti(P2O7)] and calcium phosphates [β-Ca(P2O6) and γ- Ca2(P2O7)]. The effect of TiO2 doping on the multiscale morphology and porosity was investigated by means of SEM, MIP, μCT, N2 adsorption and USAXS/SAXS. Increasing TiO2 content leads to the formation of open porosity up to 70 vol% and drives the formation of a refined interconnected macroporosity of 2–30 μm. In contrast, mesoporosity with a dominance of 3–6 nm pores decreases in all samples with increasing TiO2 content. USAXS/SAXS revealed an increase in primary particle size with increasing TiO2 content which is in good agreement with the nitrogen physisorption analysis showing that microporosity decreases with increasing TiO2 content.
期刊介绍:
Microporous and Mesoporous Materials covers novel and significant aspects of porous solids classified as either microporous (pore size up to 2 nm) or mesoporous (pore size 2 to 50 nm). The porosity should have a specific impact on the material properties or application. Typical examples are zeolites and zeolite-like materials, pillared materials, clathrasils and clathrates, carbon molecular sieves, ordered mesoporous materials, organic/inorganic porous hybrid materials, or porous metal oxides. Both natural and synthetic porous materials are within the scope of the journal.
Topics which are particularly of interest include:
All aspects of natural microporous and mesoporous solids
The synthesis of crystalline or amorphous porous materials
The physico-chemical characterization of microporous and mesoporous solids, especially spectroscopic and microscopic
The modification of microporous and mesoporous solids, for example by ion exchange or solid-state reactions
All topics related to diffusion of mobile species in the pores of microporous and mesoporous materials
Adsorption (and other separation techniques) using microporous or mesoporous adsorbents
Catalysis by microporous and mesoporous materials
Host/guest interactions
Theoretical chemistry and modelling of host/guest interactions
All topics related to the application of microporous and mesoporous materials in industrial catalysis, separation technology, environmental protection, electrochemistry, membranes, sensors, optical devices, etc.
