The fate of silicic acid is of some interest. Silicic acid polymerizes, by condensation, and finally a silica gel is formed (Wilson Mesley, 1968). The insolubilization of silicic acid has been observed to parallel closely the precipitation of phosphate (Wilson Batchelor, 1967b) and is related to an increase of pH within the cement (Kent Wilson, 1969). A low concentration of silicic acid must remain in the matrix. All this is in accord with the known aqueous chemistry of silica.

An understanding of the surface chemistry of silica is required to interpret its chromatographic properties. The silica surface consists of a network of silanol groups, some of which may. be hydrogen bonded to water, and siloxane groups, as shown in Figure 4.2. A fully hydroxylat silica surface contains about 8...

An extensive review on the knowledge of the structure and chemistry of silica and silicic acid up to 1955 was given by Her 167). Unfortunately, there is no recent edition of this book covering research in the last decade.

The surface chemistry of SAMs of silanes on planar substrates such as oxidized silicon wafers is comparable to the chemistry of silica gel, with the absence of a porous structure [47].
