ABSTRACTThe low-temperature sol-gel process opens a number of new materials possibilities for generation of glasses with predetermined properties by the incorporation of organic modifiers into the network. Polysiloxanes are potentially interesting organic modifiers for toughening and possibly surface-modifying the silicate networks. Some fundamental studies of the hydrolysis and condensation processes in a tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS) system, in the absence of added catalyst, have been conducted using 1H and 29Si NMR. The effects of some of the reaction parameters and processing conditions for the subsequent conversion of the gel to monolithic dried gels by heat treatment have been investigated by techniques such as thermal analysis and mass spectroscopy. Procedures which employ mild pressures have been established that permit the generation of monolithic products which show greatly reduced cracking tendencies. Finally, methoxy functionalized poly(dimethylsiloxane) oligomers that can react into the sol-gel network have been prepared. The intermediates are commercially accessible and the process is scaleable. Utilization of a catalyst-free system eliminates the tendency of the siloxane modifier to undergo undesired rearrangements that are known to occur in the presence of strong acids or bases.

ABSTRACTThe introduction of organic groups into inorganic networks by the sol-gel process opens the possibility for the preparation of new materials, and typical properties resulting from inorganic as well as from organic components may be combined. Some general aspects and different examples of material developments are reviewed.

ABSTRACTYttrium is involved as oxide in a variety of advanced materials. Hydrolysis of its most common alkoxide, yttrium oxoisopropoxide Y5O(OiPr)13 , is difficult to control as a result of the high electropositivity of the metal. Functional alcohols such as 2-methoxyethanol and acetylacetone have thus been used as modifiers. These tailored precursors have been fully characterized (single crystal X-Ray diffraction, IR, NMR. ). The tendency of methoxyethanol to act as a bridging ligand and to stabilize high oligomers - Y(OC2H4OMe)3 is a decamer - gives some insight into its behavior as “network builder”. The unexpected cleavage of acetylacetone offers a route to an interesting acetatoacetylacetonate derivative, Y2(OAc)2(acac)4(H2O)2 , but also suggest that this classical “modifier” could be affected by the hydrolysis-polycondensation reactions of the metallic species during the sol-gel process. Comparison of the hydrolysis behavior of the different precursors was performed.

ABSTRACTInterface between sol-gel process and soft matter appears recently as a very nice tool to generate new materials with complex textures or/and structures extended at various length scales. In this general context, hierarchical inorganic porous monoliths have been prepared using a double templates procedure, namely concentrated emulsion as a macroscopic pattern and mesoscopic micellar templates. The texture of those monoliths can vary dramatically playing either with the oil volume fraction, synthetic pH conditions or the emulsification process. These materials show interconnected macroporosity associated to vermicular-type mesostructuration with an average mesoporosity of 800 m2/g associated to bulk density as low as 0.08 g cm-3 which is comparable to values obtained for silica aerogel.

Ceramic thin films and coatings are of interest for electrical, optical, magnetic and thermal barrier applications. Critical for improved properties in thin films is the development of specific microstructures during processing. To this end, the sol-gel method is advantageous as a versatile processing route. The sol-gel process involves depositing a solution containing metalorganic or colloidal ceramic precursors onto a substrate and heating the deposited layer to form a crystalline or non-crystalline ceramic coating. This route has several advantages, including the ability to create tailored microstructures and properties, to coat large or small areas, simple or complex shapes, and to more easily prepare multicomponent ceramics. Sol-gel derived coatings are amorphous in the as-deposited state and develop their crystalline structure and microstructure during heat-treatment. We are particularly interested in studying the amorphous to crystalline transformation, because many key features of the microstructure such as grain size and grain size distribution may be linked to this transformation.
