Abstract

A series of techniqu1es were employed to characterize the pore microstructure of a group of colloidal silica-alkali silicate gels. Methods used included mercury penetration porosimetry, nitrogen desorption measurements, transmission electron microscopy, single and multiple small angle neutron scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance relaxation measurements, x-ray tomography and dielectric constant measurements. Comparison of results of pore volume, pore size and size distribution as well as homogeneity of the pore structure are presented.
