Abstract
The conversion of SiO1.5CH3 into SiO2 glass by pyrolysis in air has been studied by combining density measurements, vibrational spectroscopy, positron annihilation spectroscopy, and nuclear magnetic resonance. The results show that a critical transition takes place between 400 and 500 °C and at 600 °C the organic features are completely removed. The conversion of the hybrid structure into a fully inorganic network takes place through the formation of metastable 3-membered rings that progressively evolve into more stable 5+ rings as the pyrolysis temperature increases. The evolution of the organic moieties is coupled with the formation of Si-OH and molecular water trapped in the network which are well visible between 500 and 800 °C. In such temperature regions, a clear evolution of the network density can be detected, though the amount of free volume is nearly constant (due to the presence of trapped H2O). Only at 1250 °C, the network is comparable with a melt-derived glass.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Non-Crystalline Solids publishes review articles, research papers, and Letters to the Editor on amorphous and glassy materials, including inorganic, organic, polymeric, hybrid and metallic systems. Papers on partially glassy materials, such as glass-ceramics and glass-matrix composites, and papers involving the liquid state are also included in so far as the properties of the liquid are relevant for the formation of the solid.
In all cases the papers must demonstrate both novelty and importance to the field, by way of significant advances in understanding or application of non-crystalline solids; in the case of Letters, a compelling case must also be made for expedited handling.
