Abstract

PURPOSE:To prepare a columnar porous gel having no bend by using a vessel having an opening end larger than a cylindrical part, filling a raw material soln. for gel up to the top and drying this while holding it vertically. CONSTITUTION:In the stage of obtaining a gelatinous porous body from a raw material soln. contg. metallic alkoxide and water, a vessel 5 of which the diameter of the opening end is larger than the cylindrical part is used. The raw material soln. is filled in this vessel up to the part of the increased diameter and while the vessel 5 is held substantially vertically, the soln. is dried. Then, the columnar porous gel having no bend is obtained and this is suited as a raw material for optical parts, optical fibers, etc.

As shown in Figure (b), a cylindrical porous gel 3 having a similar shape to the cylindrical container is obtained. Hereinafter, this gel 3 will be referred to as a dry gel. Thereafter, it is sintered and vitrified at about 1000 tl' or more to obtain a glass body, such as a glass rod.

Although the dry gel obtained by the above-mentioned sol-gel method depends on the preparation conditions, the cylindrical gel shown in FIG. 1(C) may be bent during the drying process. This tendency becomes more pronounced as the finished rig is longer relative to its diameter. Even if the bent gel is used as a raw material for subsequent sintering,
Even if it is used as a gel itself, it is often inconvenient.

According to the present invention, in the above-mentioned sol/gel method, when a cylindrical gel is entirely produced, a cylindrical container with a large diameter is used by cutting the open end of the nuclear reactor into a cylindrical part, and the raw material solution is poured into a cylindrical container. The above objective can be achieved by filling the container up to its increased diameter and drying while supporting the container vertically.

In the above embodiment, the ratio DI/Dt between the inner diameter D1 of the opening and the inner diameter of the cylindrical portion was selected to be 1.7, or it can be determined from this ratio and the shrinkage rate as the gel dries. In other words, the outer diameter of the wet gel is dl for certain manufacturing conditions.
If the outer diameter of the dry gel is d, then the ratio %D1/D should be larger than the ratio 'tdt/dt as long as the dry gel is manufactured under the same conditions.
