Abstract

Abstract The occurrence of the spinnability in the sols prepared by the hydrolysis and polycondensation of tetramethoxysilane, tetraethoxysilane, tetraisopropoxysilane and tetranormalbutoxysilane has been investigated. It has been found that the spinnability appears at high viscosities in all of these solutions when the H2O/Si(OR)4 mole ratio of the starting solution is 2 and an acid is used in the hydrolysis reaction. It has also been shown that the spinnable solutions show the Newtonian behavior at high viscosities.
