Abstract

                         A new route for the synthesis of porous sol-gel silica is proposed. Highly transparent, mechanical stable porous sol gel silica glasses were prepared using TEOS, formamide and HCl only. Our samples show the same mechanical and optical properties as reported already by others, using conventional procedure with water and alcohol.

Keywords: Aerogel, porous glass, sol gel preparation.
