Abstract

A first approach to the ultrastructural evolution during the sintering process of TiO2-SiO2 aerogels has been done on the basis of the gelation kinetics and dried gel previous analysis, in order to tailor the mixed glass sol-gel processing.

Small Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS) technique was used to study the evolution of the ultrastructure of porous aerogels partially densified at several temperatures. The analysis of the scattering intensity profiles on the basis of the Porod's Two Phase Media Model gives valuable information about pore-solid matrix interface evolution on sintering.
