Abstract. Physical and chemical patterns film-forming ethanol solution based on tetraethoxysilane, orthophosphoric acid and calcium chloride have been determined. Methods of photon correlation spectrometry and electrophoresis showed that colloidal particles with size up to 25 nm are formed in the film-forming solutions. Their stability is maintained during one day, and then 4 precipitates from the film-forming solutions. Methods of X-ray analysis, scanning electron microscopy and IR spectroscopy have shown that the dried coating solution after precipitation of 4 consists of aClH 2 PO 4 ·H 2 O and SiO 2 . The formation of these substances is due to the hydrolysis of tetraethoxysilane and interaction calcium chloride with orthophosphoric acid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
