Precursor for carbon-containing monolithic glasses
Abstract
Abstract A valuable intermediate for the preparation of carbon-containing monolithic glasses by solgel process is described which comprises a dispersion of a colloidal metal oxide or a mixture of colloidal metal oxide in a water-alcohol solution of the partial condensate of a silanol having the formula RSi(OH) 3 in which R is selected from the group consisting of alkyl radicals of 1 to 3 inclusive carbon atoms or the phenyl radical, or mixtures thereof. The composition contains 25 to 60 weight percent solids which themselves comprise 1 to 70 weight percent of colloidal oxide or mixtures thereof and 30 to 99 weight percent of the partial condensate. The metal oxides are selected from a group consisting essentially of (i) ZrO 2 , (ii) Sn0 2 , (iii) ZrSi0 4 , (iv) B 2 0 3 and (v) La 2 0 3 .
