    摘要: The invention reflects discovery of a liquid phase doping technique that, unlike previous techniques, exhibits very little fluorine depletion upon subsequent heating. The invention involves the steps of providing a silica sol comprising a tetraalkylammonium hydroxide and a di-, tri-, or tetraalkylammonium fluoride, the sol having pH of about 10 to about 14, adding a gelling agent to the sol to induce gelation, casting or extruding the sol to form a gel body, and then drying, heat treating, and sintering the body. Advantageously, the fluorine-containing compound is tetramethylammonium fluoride.

    摘要: Silica sols exhibiting desirable yield-dilatancy are fabricated. A mixture comprising silica, water, and a pH-adjusting agent is provided, and the mixture is shear-mixed. The desirable properties of the resultant sol are attained by using a concentration of pH-adjusting agent that provides a viscosity within a particular range during shear mixing. The requisite pH range, however, changes depending on the properties of the silica mixture. A discovered technique for determining this changing pH range is by selecting the pH based on the silica surface area per unit volume of the mixture.
