Sol-Gel (sol-gel method)

The sol-gel process / sol-gel process is a process for producing non-metallic inorganic or hybrid polymeric materials from colloidal dispersions, the so-called sols. The starting materials are also referred to as precursors. From them arise in solution in first basic reactions finest particles. Special processing of the brine can produce powders, fibers, layers or aerogels. Due to the small size of the initially generated sol particles in the nanometer range, the sol-gel process can be understood as part of the chemical nanotechnology.
