Abstract

Several examples of sol–gel preparation of doped materials are taken to illustrate the various situations where the doping elements are responsible for the main function of the material or govern its structure. Other examples are used to illustrate that sometimes unexpected effects can be observed like structural modification and the appearance of new properties. Rare earth doped scintillators demonstrate higher homogeneity for materials prepared via sol–gel chemistry when compared with classical solid state reaction. The XRD study of rare earth doped orthoborates shows that doping can affect the vaterite to calcite phase transition observed in these compounds. A Raman spectroscopic study has been performed on doped silica xerogels and it has been shown that doping ions can modify greatly the densification process in these amorphous materials. Finally, it has been evidenced that sol–gel chemistry allows the preparation of bioactive ceramics with enhanced properties. In particular Zn-doped HAP with anti inflammatory properties has been prepared and Sr-doped bioactive glasses have demonstrated superior in-vitro bioactivity as evidenced by PIXE-RBS study.
