FTIR has been used to follow the evolution of a sol–gel preparation accomplished with two acid/acid steps. The reaction of methyltrimethoxysilane mixed with colloidal silica was taken as an example, aiming at proving the use of IR spectroscopy for the determination of reaction aspects like the kinetic behaviour that is essential for the scale-up of the application. The steps were carried out for 60 min...
