Abstract

The molecular structure of sol-gel processed silica can be studied using electron-spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy. Spectra reveal changes in structure from sol to gel and from gel to glass. Gels prepared under various conditions contain intrinsic and extrinsic defects. Other spectroscopies that have been used to investigate gels are nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), Raman, and visible.
