Modifications of Molecular Size and Structure During the Hydrolytic Polycondensation of Metal Alkoxides

Abstract

Inorganic materials, such as ceramics and glasses, are traditionally formed by thermal processes. Application of heat has been such an integral part of their formation that the scientific definition of the very materials often refers to this fact, e. g., product of fusion, etc. Recently, it has been demonstrated that inorganic networks of ceramics and glasses can also be formed by low temperature chemical polymerization. In the latter cases high temperature reactions which limit the glass formation can be avoided. More importantly, molecular-structural variations can be introduced into the polymeric structure, allowing property modifications without compositional alterations. These nonequilibrium conditions are found to be quite stable even in relatively high temperatures.

In this paper, hydrolytic polycondensation of metal alkoxides and alkoxysilanes is reviewed within the context of forming inorganic networks and modifying such networks. Since the paper is intended to be an overview, it contains extensive quotations from this author’s previous works in the field.
