Introduction
• Hydrolyses
• Polymerization
• Growth of nanostructures
• Agglomeration
The prime requisite for obtaining good
quality in this technology
• Variation of PH
• Temperature
• Time
• Concentration of Reagent
• Concentration of Catalyzor
• H2O/Si
• Phase transition Sol Gel
• Drying

Preparation of thin films
• RO3=Si-OR + H2O
(RO)3=Si-O-Si+ R-OH (Hydrolyses)
• (RO)3=Si-OH+(RO)3=Si-OR
(RO)3=Si-OSi=(RO)3+ ROH
• (RO)3=Si-OH+HO-Si+(RO)3
(RO)3+Si-O-Si=(RO)3+H2O
