Effect of heat treatment on bioactivity and mechanical properties of PDMS-modified CaO-SiO2-TiO2 hybrids via sol-gel process

Abstract
Crack- and pore-free transparent monolithic disks of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)- modified CaO-SiO2-TiO2hybrids were obtained by hydrolysis and polycondensation of PDMS, tetraethoxysilane,...
