Abstract

Clear gels have been made from TEOS and the aminofunctional silane underacid-catalyzed conditions and light scattering of the gels has been relatedto pH and the concentration of fluoride ions in the sol as well as theamount of the aminosilane used. We have succeeded in preparing a series ofgels containing Ni2+ or Cu2+ ions immobilized bychelation either before or after the gel formation. Aerogels made from thesegels in particular, doped by the method of impregnation, have had ahomogeneous microstructure on the scale of only a few nanometers.
