Abstract
Sols composed of dibutyltin dilaureate (DTL) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) were prepared using a mixture of methyl ethyl ketone (MEK) and acetone as the solvent in order to study the interaction between the oligomeric Sn and Si species. The hydrolysis molar ratio r (r=nH2O/nM (M: Si, Sn or Si+Sn) was 2. The use of an acid or basic catalyst was avoided, as the sols are intended to be used in the formulation of potential stone consolidants. The sols were studied by several spectroscopic techniques including Small Angle X-ray Scattering (SAXS), 29Si and 119Sn NMR, Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). According to the spectroscopic results the lauric acid produced by the hydrolysis of DTL modifies the condensation path of the Si species, leading to the formation of two types of oligomeric chains: linear swollen and multiparticle diffusion-limited aggregates, depending on the molar ratio Sn/Si. The 29Si NMR results indicated that the hydrolysis of DTL catalizes the condensation of the Si species, giving as a result higher condensation extents of the Si species in the Sn-Si sols compared to a pure Si sol. Based on the Radial Distribution functions (RDF) and the FTIR results, heterocondensation occurred.
