Time-resolved small-angle X-ray scattering is used to follow in situ the structuring of silica sols and gels in various chemical conditions. The acid-catalyzed and base-catalyzed polymerizations of TEOS, as well as the copolymerization of TEOS with organically modified trialkoxysilanes, are followed. The analysis points to the diversity of the mechanisms that govern the structuring of the reacting solutions, and most notably to the important role of physical forces.

Non-destructive characterization of deer (Cervus Elaphus) antlers by X-ray microtomography coupled with image analysis

in Journal of Microscopy-Oxford (2007), 225(Pt 3), 258-263

X-ray microtomography coupled with image analysis was tested as a non-destructive alternative method for the textural characterization of the trabecular part of deer antlers (Cervus Elaphus). As gas adsorption and mercury intrusion cannot be applied on this soft and spongy material, its pore texture was, up to now, determined from histological sections that give only two-dimensional information. In this work, X-ray microtomography is used to scan entire or half pieces of antlers and three-dimensional image analysis is performed in order to assess the differences between samples collected at various antler locations. Results clearly show a porosity profile along the sample diameter. The pore size distribution is showed to be dependent on the sample original site. [less ▲]

Compressing some sol-gel materials reduces their stiffness: a textural analysis

The mechanical behaviour of two series of silica and of resorcinol xerogels is analyzed by mercury porosimetry. The data are expressed as pressure-density curves, which enables textural information to be obtained. In particular, it is shown that some of the analyzed samples exhibit a marked lowering of their mechanical stiffness upon compression. This observation is analyzed in terms of the collapse of the sample’s porosity and of the heterogeneity of the microstructure. [less ▲]

Multiscale image analysis of microcellular solids: application to hybrid silica xerogels

A general methodology is proposed to characterize microcellular solids, the structure of which consists of a three-dimensional network of filamentary structures. The analysis is based on transmission electron microscopy observation of the filaments individually and of their spatial arrangement. The micrographs are analyzed with greytone digital image analysis techniques, such as opening granulometry and correlation analysis. The methodology is applied to hybrid organic–inorganic low-density silica solids synthesized by the sol–gel method with an organically modified co-reactant. The quantitative impact of the coreactant on each structural level of the structure is assessed quantitatively. [less ▲]
