-The aim of research is to develop an area of nanoporous ceramics of ternary systems. Nanoporous ceramic system SiO2-TiO2-ZrO2 has been synthesized via sol-gel technology by hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), zirconia and titanium alcoxides solutions. The sols have been polymerized at room temperature to obtain gels and dried at 100 o C, then milled for 1 or 6 hours for particle homogenization, pressed into samples, and then sintered at 800 o C or 1000 o C in air. The samples have been characterized by XRD, particle size distribution, crystallite size distribution, compressive strength. Porosity of ceramic samples has been determined by nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.

The aim of the research was to develop the area of mesoporous thin films of a binary TiO2–SiO2 system. Sol was synthesized from tetraethylorthosilicate as the silica source and titanium isopropoxide solution as the TiO2 source, while triblock copolymer surfactant (Pluronic F 127 (10% solution in water, (P))) was used as the mesostructure-directing agent. In this paper we present sol-gel obtained TiO2–SiO2 with a mesoporous structure. The effects of added titanium on the mesostructure and on the porosity are presented and discussed. Four different molar percentage ratios of Ti: Si were used for the synthesis of mixed TiO2–SiO2 mesoporous thin films on glass substrate. The mesoporous structure of thin films was characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns, atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and the water contact angle. These mesoporous TiO2–SiO2 thin films could have many potential applications in many areas such as separation membranes, catalysis, optics, and self-cleaning surfaces.

The aim of research was developed area of nanoporous ceramic matrials of ternary - ZrO2-TiO2-SiO2 system. The ceramic materials of system ZrO2-TiO2-SiO2 was synthesized via sol-gel technology by hydrolysis of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS), zirconia propoxide and titanium isporopoxide solutions. The sols were polymerized at room temperature to obtain gels. Then gels were dried at 100 OC 72 hours. Xerogel was milled 1 or 6 hours and the powder was axial pressed for nanoporous ceramic samples. All the samples were sintered at 800 OC or 1000 OC in air. 1M HYPERLINK "res://\\\\ld1062.dll/type=1_word=hydrochloric%20acid" hydrochloric acid (HCl) and destilled water were used as a catalyst to promote the hydrolysis and condensation reactions. All samples were characterized by X-rays (XRD) diffraction, particle size distribution and compressive strength. Apparent density and specific surface area of ceramic samples were determined by a Brunauer, Emmett and Teller (BET) nitrogen adsorption-desorption isotherms.
