AbstractSols composed of Tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and RTEOS (R: methyl, ethyl, phenyl) catalyzed with HCl were prepared. The molar ratios TEOS :RTEOS:EtOH:H20:HC1 were (1.0-0.8947):(5.26×10−2-0.1579):0.95:1.0:7×10−4, respectively. The sols were analyzed by 29 Si NMR immediately after mixing the reagents in order to study the hydrolysis and condensation reactions. A predominant self-condensation was observed in the TEOS-ETEOS sol, compared to cross-condensation. This result was opposite to the behaviour of the TEOS-MTEOS and TEOS-PTEOS sols.
