Some Peculiarities of Silica Modification Under High Reagent Pressure. I. Methodological Aspects

Abstract

The effect of the following factors on the chemical and geometrical modification of aerosilogel (prepared from aerosil) was studied: the physicochemical characteristics of the modifying reagent pressures, the preparation conditions for the silica surface, the reaction temperature, the reagent pressures, the duration of treatment and the method employed for the modification process. The course of the surface reaction was followed by IR spectroscopy, differential thermal analysis and adsorption. During high-pressure modification, the geometrical parameters of the porous silica structure may be changed.
