Abstract

This work is part of a more general study on the structural characterization of organically modified silica gels that are usually prepared from tetrafunctional, trifunctional and difunctional alkoxides. The systems that were investigated in this paper are gels prepared from co-hydrolysis of dimethyldiethoxysilane (DEDMS) and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). The condensation process was followed by 29Si and 17O liquid NMR and shows clearly evidence for co-condensation reactions. Gels with various DEDMS/TEOS ratios were studied by 29Si and 1H MAS-NMR. The results are clearly correlated to the change in physical properties of the materials, from flexible polymeric gels at high DEDMS content to crosslinked brittle networks at low DEDMS content.
