Abstract

Sol-get techniques have become very popular recently due to their high chemical homogeneity, low processing temperatures, and the possibility of controlling the size and morphology of particles. The sol-gel-derived materials provide excellent matrices for a variety of organic and inorganic compounds. One of the most important features of doped sol-gel materials is their ability for preservation of chemical and physical properties of the dopants. This feature marks those materials as almost unique hosts for a number of biologically important molecules which can be utilized in a number of biomedical applications. The advantages of sol-gel technology used for construction of biomedical sensors, laser materials or for delayed drug delivery, will be discussed.
