Abstract
Solgel methods emerged by the 1940s when Geffcken and Bergen produced single oxide coatings and Schroeder first deposited thin films Subsequently scientists and engineers have used solgel processes which drive individual particles or sols through a gelation process into a larger mass in numerous applications Recently solgel processing techniques have extended to nanoparticle synthesis because solgel techniques are simple are inexpensive and may be used to tune material properties This chapter critically reviews methods that have been widely used for decades and new cuttingedge strategies driving development of exciting emerging technologies Examples include tuning photon capture in solar cells enhancing magnetic properties and providing complex biosensing capabilitiesThe authors express appreciation for the support from the University of Utah startup funds We also wish to thank the US National Science Foundation CBET for a grant NSF CBET1125490 to one of us LP during part of the time in which this work was carried out Any opinions findings and conclusions or recommendations expressed herein are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the US National Science Foundation The authors also express appreciation to Scott Miller Cecilia Petit and Shilpa Bhansali for insightful conversations
