✦ Synopsis

The sol-gel transition of the system tetramethylorthosilicate-water-methanol under basic conditions has been studied by rheological measurements. The gelation time t(g) has been determined from the measurements of the elastic G' and viscous G'' moduli as a function of time at different frequencies according to Winter's criterion. At gelation time the frequency dependence of both moduli follows a power law with an exponent related to the fractal dimension of the network structure. Different initial monomer concentrations, hydrolysis molar ratios, and temperatures are studied. The decrease of the gelation time with an increase of initial monomer concentration or hydrolysis molar ratio is well-described by a power law. An apparent activation energy is deduced from the temperature dependence of gelation time.

A spectrophotometer was used to measure the turbidity of a carrageenan gel as a function of temperature. The optical transmission of the gels was found to decrease as the gels undergo the sol-gel phase transition. The differential of transmission (I) with respect to temperature ( T ), dI/dT, exhibit
