Abstract

A solid state multinuclear NMR study of the sol-gel process was performed using the molecular building blocks tetramethoxysilane, hexamethoxydisiloxane, octamethoxytrisiloxane and octamethoxyoctasilsesquioxane as precursor monomers. Water content, solvent content, and hydrolysis/condensation processes were monitored using 17O, 13C, and 29Si FT, FTMAS and CPMAS NMR techniques.
