Abstract: | A solution of zirconium propoxide stabilized by methoxyethanol is mixed with silicon ethoxide in ethanol and hydrolyzed by
small amounts of neutral, basified or acidified water. The obtained silica-zirconia gel is dried in supercritical conditions,
yielding an aerogel. The modifications of the aerogel porous texture as a function of chemical composition and thermal treatment
are investigated using adsorption-desorption isotherms analysis, mercury porosimetry, electron-microscopy and X-ray diffraction. |
