A comprehensive study on the gelation process of silica gels from sodium silicate

The sol-gel route via sodium silicate precursor is known as a practical synthesis method to prepare silica gels in a cost effective way. In the current research, rheological properties of the synthesized silica gels were investigated at different pH values. The gelation time (tgel) was determined fr...
