TREATMENT OF SOLS, GELS, MIXTURES OR COMPOSITES OF SOLS AND GELS, AND/OR SOL-GEL DERIVED MATERIALS

摘要

An object of the invention is a method for at least partially treating biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials, said sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials comprising OH-groups and being at least partially amorphous, the said treatment being performed with a localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy. Other objects of the invention are a method for coating a device with biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials and a method for modifying the biological activity of biologically active sols, gels, mixtures or composites of sols and gels, and/or sol-gel derived materials. All these methods use treatment with localised electromagnetic and/or acoustic energy. The invention also relates to the use of said method for the fabrication of different devices and to the attachment of at least two devices.
