Gelest offers a wide range of metal alkoxides for use in sol-gel applications. Sol-gel is a method for preparing specialty metal oxide glasses and ceramics by hydrolyzing a chemical precursor or mixture of precursors that pass sequentially through a solution state and a gel state before being dehydrated to a glass or ceramic. Sol-gel technology can be used to prepare fibers, microspheres, thin films, fine powders and monoliths. Applications for sol-gel technology include protective coatings, catalysts, piezoelectric devices, wave-guides, lenses, high-strength ceramics, superconductors and insulating materials. The flexibility of sol-gel technology allows unique access to multi-component oxide systems and low temperature process regimens.
