Abstract EN
Hydrophobic silica aerogels were successfully preparation by an ambient pressure drying method from sodium silicate (Na2SiO3) with different pH values (5, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10).
In this study, acidic HCl (1M), a basic NH4OH (1M) were selected as a catalyst to perform the surface modification in a TMCS (trimethylchlorosilane) solution.
The surface chemical modification of the aerogels was assured by the Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic studies.
Other physical properties, such as pore volume and pore size and specific surface area were determined by Brunauer-Emmett- Teller (BET) method.
The effect of pH values on the bulk density of aerogel.
The sol–gel parameter pH value in the sol, have marked effects on the physical properties of the silica aerogels produced by this technique.
The density and the hydrophobic tendency of the aerogels were significantly influenced.
