Résumé
Le traitement ultrasonore de mélanges de TEOS + H2O permet d'obtenir des gels sans utilisation d'alcool comme solvant commun. L'influence de l'énergie fournie par les ultrasons et de la température de gélification sur la texture des aerogels résultants a été étudiée pour déterminer les conditions optimales pour le frittage.


Abstract
Ultrasonic treatment of mixtures of TEOS + H2O enables gels to be obtained without the necessity of using alcohol as a common solvent. The influence of energy supplied by the ultrasounds and gelation temperature on the texture of the resulting aerogels were studied in order to determine the optimal conditions for sintering.
