✦ Synopsis
Free‐standing SiO~2~ nanotubes have been synthesized by surface sol–gel replication of the pores of alumina membranes. The nanotubes are very flexible (as shown in the Figure) and their walls are smooth and uniformly thick along their length. SiO~2~‐insulated nanowires were also grown, by electroplating gold inside the SiO~2~‐coated pores of the membrane, and their I–V characteristics were examined.

Glasses in the system SiO 2 -CaO-P 2 O 5 -MgO were prepared by the sol-gel method. These glasses featured SiO 2 contents in the range 60-80 mol %, 4 mol % of P 2 O 5 , and a CaO/MgO molar ratio of 4. Because of their composition and surface properties, all the glasses showed in vitro bioactivity, as
