Abstract

Systems produced in interaction of colloid SiO2 particles with potassium hydroxide solutions form, as a result of aging, solid transparent gels and jellies. Depending on the pH value, the systems formed retain the colloid structure or take features of a homogeneous glassy body, with the glass formation possible within a rather large area in the K2O-SiO2-H2O triangle, adjacent to the K2O-SiO2 line.
