本発明は、ゾル−ゲル法によるガラスの製造方法に関す

しかし、前述の従来技術では、多孔性のゲルの作製が非

そこで本発明はこのような問題点を解決するもので、そ
の目的とするところは、ゾル−ゲル法により大型ガラス
を歩留り良く作製する方法を提供するところにある。In the conventional production of glass using the sol-gel method,
Usually, an alkyl silicate monomer is used as a raw material, and this is subjected to a hydrolysis reaction using an acidic or basic catalyst to prepare a sol, which is then gelled, dried, and sintered to produce glass. [Problems to be Solved] However, with the above-mentioned conventional technology, it is extremely difficult to produce porous gel, and cracks occur during shrinkage drying and sintering, making it impossible to produce large-sized glass. Therefore, the present invention is intended to solve these problems, and its purpose is to provide a method for manufacturing large-sized glasses with good yield by the sol-gel method.

媒として塩基性試薬を用いることを特徴とする。In the production of glass by the sol-gel method in which a sol is prepared using an alkyl silicate as the main raw material, this is gelled to produce a wet gel, and then the wet gel is dried and sintered. It is characterized by using an alkyl polysilicate oligomer of ~octamer and using a basic reagent as a reaction catalyst.
本発明によれば、出発原料として多量体のアルキルシリ

製が可能となるものである。According to the present invention, since a multimeric alkyl silicate is used as a starting material, this becomes the minimum unit of the skeleton of the gel structure, and it is easier to form a porous structure than when a normal monomer is used as the minimum unit. Therefore, it is less likely to break during drying and sintering after gelation, making it possible to produce large-sized glass.
