Structural characterization of the organic/inorganic networks in the hybrid material (TMOS–TMSM–MMA)

Kinetic study of methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) hydrolysis by FTIR spectroscopy under different temperatures and solvents

“…The sol-gel method as a materials processing technique, compared to traditional technologies, has attracted intense and growing interest of the researchers because of its advantages such as high reactivity, better purity, avoidance of corrosive byproducts, and improved control of the product structure [1][2][3]. The reactions of alkoxysilane in aqueous and aqueous/organic media, one type of sol-gel processing, are technologically important in process design, optimization and control of the synthesis of ceramics, hybrid inorganic/organic polymers, and modified surfaces [2][3][4].…”

“…The reactions of alkoxysilane in aqueous and aqueous/organic media, one type of sol-gel processing, are technologically important in process design, optimization and control of the synthesis of ceramics, hybrid inorganic/organic polymers, and modified surfaces [2][3][4]. Numerous speciation studies on silica sol-gel systems have shown that the path of alkoxysilane hydrolysis and condensation, and the properties of polymer were affected by the synthesis parameters, such as temperature, pH of catalysis, water/alkoxysilane ratio and solvent nature [5][6][7][8].…”

Interaction of TEOS with cementitious materials: Chemical and physical effects

“…reported by Besland and Sassi [45][46][47] for monomeric TEOS and its polymerised and hydrolysed species, listed in Table 6, if TEOS hydrolysed and polymerised pursuant to the process described in Equations 1 and 2, the species that might be present and explain such modifications described would be:…”

GC–MS Study of the formation of alkoxysilanes from a sol–gel precursor in a hydrophobic solution: A potential new route to hybrid molecular imprinted polymers

“…It is noteworthy that a copolymerization of hydrolyzed and partially condensed TMOS/3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl methacrylate with MA to yield a 'leather-like', transparent gel has also been reported in the literature [28].…”
