Journal ArticleDOI
Sol-gel processing of silica. II: The role of the catalyst
TL;DR: In this article, the effects of different types of catalysts on gelation time, porosity, bulk and apparent density, and volume shrinkage on drying were observed. And the authors proposed mechanisms for catalysis for the catalysts considered.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transparent silica gel–PMMA composites
TL;DR: Transparent silica gel-polymer composites have been prepared by the impregnation of porous gels with organic monomer and polymerization in situ as mentioned in this paper, and properties such as density, refractive index, modulus of rupture, compressive strength, abrasion rate and Vickers hardness have been measured over the compositional range of 100% silica to 100% polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).
Journal ArticleDOI
Nd-doped silica glass I: Structural evolution in the sol-gel state
TL;DR: In this article, the evolution of the Nd-doped silica gel as a function of heat treatment temperature, from the liquid state to the glassy state, is discussed, and fluorescence spectra for sol-gel derived neodymia-silica glass is presented.
Journal ArticleDOI
Theoretical modelling of the structural evolution of gels
TL;DR: In this article, two models, one for nearly linear growth and another for fractal growth, are presented to elucidate the structural evolution of gels utilizing measurements of viscosity vs. time dependencies.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sol-gel processing of neodymia-silica glass
TL;DR: In this article, the fabrication of neodymia-doped glass with high neodymium content by the sol-gel route is described, and a possible structure for neodymi in silica is discussed.
