9 PREFACE BACKGROUND Sol-gel processing has been known for a long time; the first silica gels were made in 1845 by M. Ebelmen at the "Manufacture de Ceramiques de Sevres" in France. However this processing technique has known a very important development during the last two decades. Several series of international conferences have addressed this theme, in particular: "International Workshops on Glasses and Ceramics from Gels" and conferences on "Better Ceramics Through Chemistry", "Ultrastructure Processing of Ceramics, Glasses and Composites", "Sol-Gel Optics", "Hybrid Organic-Inorganic Materials", "Aerogels". This list does not include many specialized sessions in international conferences devoted to materials. Sol-gel processes have brought a new view in the domain of glass and ceramics fabrication and they have enlightened the importance of chemistry along the complete fabrication lines of materials, from initial chemical precursors to the final products. The basic idea is to progressively create an oxide network by polymerization reactions of chemical precursors dissolved in a liquid medium The importance of sol-gel processing and its complexity is such that it deserves books and excellent ones, in particular on "Sol-Gel Technology for Thin Films, Fibers, Preforms, Electronics and Specialty Shapes", edited by 1. Klein (Noyes, Park Ridge, N.Y.,1985) and on "Sol-Gel Science. The Physics and Chemistry of Sol-Gel Processes" by C.1. Brinker and G.W. Scherer (Academic Press, N.Y.,1990), have appeared. The latter book definitely constitutes an outstanding and complete reference on the subject which researchers are advised to consult first. Certainly, new informations on sol-gel have been discovered since its publication. However, the aim of the present book is different. SCOPE The subject needs now to be taught in universities, in courses on inorganic chemistry, surface science and ceramics processing or combinations of them and books less extensive on research developments than those quoted and more concise on the main basic theories, are needed. The present volume is an attempt in this direction. It is the exact content of lectures which were progressively developed and taught, both at undergraduate and graduate levels, first at the University of Bordeaux in 1987 in France. then at the University of Alberta in Edmonton. Canada and since 1995 at the University of Lyon in France. A first shorter version was published in 1992 in French by the printing company Septima. in Paris.
10 x Preface The book is organized in such a way that each chapter actually corresponds to one of the main chronological order steps involved in sol-gel processing. The detailed developments in many sections are a consequence of the input of students. Other clarifications are certainly needed, as new ones appear necessary each year during the course of a teaching session and I would like to apologize for this to the readers. I will be very grateful to all users of this book if they could communicate their remarks and suggestions for further possible versions dedicated to teaching. ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This book would not have been written without the strong initial encouragement of my colleagues at the University of Bordeaux: J. Etoumeau, M. Onillon, J. Portier and B. Tanguy. I would like to sincerely thanks them, as well those who helped me at some stage, in particular E. Matijevic of Clarkson University, S. Sakka from the University of Kyoto and mainly J. Livage of the University of Paris-VI. I would like especially to express my deep gratitude to L. Klein, Professor at Rutgers University, for her support and reviewing a first draft of the manuscript. This book would not have existed without her help. The technical support of the Kluwer printing company was very helpful and I am very pleased to acknowledge their help. Challenging discussions with many students over quite a few years led to drastically modify the content of many sections. This book is in part their fruit, indirectly, and I am very thankful to them. One of the main contributors, on all the chemical aspects of sol-gel, was my own daughter Valerie, student in engineering chemistry at the French "Grande Ecole" "Chimie, Physique, Electronique", of the University of Lyon-I; I am very much indebted to her.
