Abstract

A study was made of the hydrolytic polycondensation and exchange reaction of methyltrichlorosilane with sodium metasilicate and it was shown that when the reaction proceeds in alkaline medium (pH> 7) the pH of the reaction medium, and not the functionality of the system, exerts the predominant effect on gel formation, but when the reaction is run in acid medium (pH 2) a direct relation is observed between the yield of insoluble products and the functionality of the system.
