Contribution to the Sol-Gel Chemistry in Silica Based Systems

  • Chapter
Emerging Fields in Sol-Gel Science and Technology

Abstract

In the present work the sol-gel process in the silica base systems, starting with different alkoxides, was approached by gas chromatography coupled with mass spectrometry (CG-MS). The influence of the type of alkoxide, type of solvent and the water amount on the molecular species formed in the early stages of the hydrolysis-polycondenstion process were analyzed, as well as the influence of the molecular species present in the solution at the moment of gelation on the structure of the obtained gels.
