The sol to gel transition in inorganic systems is a process which is highly dependent on the synthesis conditions; the chemistry of silicon alkoxides, in particular, is very difficult to handle because so many different species can form from the very beginning of the process and a small change of the synthesis parameters is immediately reflected on the hydrolysis and condensation stages.
