Abstract

PURPOSE:In producing glass by sol-gel method, to readily eliminate bubbles occurring in hydrolysis without increasing an amount of an alcohol used and to make it possible to produce high-quality glass free from bubbles in a short time, by hydrolyzing a sol solution under reduced pressure. CONSTITUTION:One or more of metallic alcoholates such as Si(OCH3)4, Si(OC2 H5)4, Ti(CO4H9)4, Zr(OC2H5)4, etc. are dissolved in water and an alcohol such as methanol, ethanol, etc., to give a solution of the metallic alcoholate (sol solution). The solution is incorporated with an acid or alkali as a catalyst, hydrolyzed in a vacuum device such as a vacuum desiccator, vacuum furnace, etc., at room temperature - 80 deg.C while stirring and gelatinized. Since the operations are carried out under reduced pressure, high-quality glass hardly containing bubbles occurring upto gelatinization can be produced in an extremely short time even if the amount of the alcohol used is not increased.

[Function] Taking tetramethoxysilane Si (OCH3) 4 as an example of a metal alcoholate in the sol-gel method, the hydrolysis reaction is shown by the reaction formula: s* (oc+ > + 1-+ 20 →
(OCI-131 (CI-130) -3i -OH+
It becomes CM 301-1 (OCH3). As is clear from this reaction formula, tetramethoxysilane produces methanol as a by-product through a hydrolysis reaction, and this methanol causes bubbles generated during the gelation process. In the present invention, since the water splitting reaction is carried out under reduced pressure, methanol bubbles generated in the sol solution are successively removed from the solution and do not remain in the solution for practical purposes. Since the n1 raw alcohol is removed from the system, the 81 questions required for gelation can also be shortened.
