Extract

Various methods have been developed for producing crystals, powders, coatings and monoliths from gels [1]. The scientific basis for understanding compositional effects, gelation, aging, drying and densification is also advancing rapidly [2]. However, there is as yet relatively little information on the durability, weathering, or corrosion resistance of glasses, glass-ceramics, ceramics, or composites made via the gel route. Data is also sparse on the effects of vacuum, thermal exposure, or mechanical stress on the stability of gel-derived solids. Relationships between sol-gel processing variables and environmental stability are especially lacking at the present time. Since many end-use applications of gel derived materials involve exposure to severe environments, it is essential that the durability of these materials be established during their development.
