Effects Of Trioxane On Silica Gel
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 28 February 2011
Abstract
Hydrolysis, condensation and thermal reactions of silica gels derived from TEOS with and without 1,3,5-trioxane (C3H6O3) were studied. Effects of trioxane on viscosity and gelation time of solutions were determined. Specific surface, density, porosity and microhardness of gels were measured. The behavior of gels at elevated temperature was clarified using DTA, TGA, and dilatometry. The properties and structure of trioxane containing sol/gels may be explained by the role trioxane played in the sol-gel transition. The results of this investigation concerning sol-gel/gel-glass transitions, structure and properties of gels are presented.
