Gels prepared from mixtures of Si(OMe)4and MeSi(OMe)3under basic conditions were supercritically dried by the methanol process. In aerogels prepared from only Si(OMe)4, 30% of the silicon atoms still contain an OMe substituent. When Si(OMe)4/MeSi(OMe)3mixtures are employed, most of the residual methoxy substituents are replaced by methyl substituents. Thus, a permanent hydrophobicity is provided to the aerogels without affecting the average degree of condensation per silicon atom. The use of 40% or more MeTMOS in the preparation of the aerogels lowers the degree of condensation beyond that of pure ‘SiO2’ aerogels.
