Abstract

A new approach to prepare nanoparticles in SrF2-YbF3 systems via the fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis is presented.

Highlights

  • A new approach to prepare nanoparticles in SrF2-YbF3 systems via the fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis is presented

  • By using nanoscopic uorides of alkaline earth metals and rare earth metals as llers one can improve the cariostatic properties of dental composites and at the same time to provide an increase in X-ray efficiency of such materials

  • X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) were used to characterize the particles according to their particle size, crystallite size as well as to study the ageing process and crystallite size dependency with increasing ytterbium concentration

Summary

Introduction

A new approach to prepare nanoparticles in SrF2-YbF3 systems via the fluorolytic sol–gel synthesis is presented. With continuously increasing interest in nanomaterials many synthetic strategies were developed to prepare nanoscopic particles of solid solutions according the requirements for the desired materials.[13,14,15,16,17] A challenge represents the synthesis of monodisperse nanoparticles with particle sizes in the lower nanometer range, which are important for further processing.
