Abstract/Summary:
An analytical protocol involving gas chromatography (GC), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GCMS), and ;The analytical protocol employing capillary gas chromatography was applied to monitor the stoichiometry, structures, and abundances of low molecular weight polysilicates (1 ;A procedure was also developed to prepare monolithic silica glasses from mono-, tri-, and octasilicate precursors, under acidic (HCl) and basic (KOH) conditions. Bulk density measurements of these monoliths indicated that the octasilicate monoliths were relatively dense.
