Analysis of the distribution of nuclei in matrices of differently prepared and treated aluminosilicate gels

Analyses of the distribution of nuclei in matrices of differently prepared and treated aluminosilicate gels have shown that both a specific number (number per unit mass or volume) of nuclei and their distribution f (N) in the gel matrix depend strongly on the chemical and physical conditions under which hydrogel is prepared. The distribution of nuclei in most of gel precursors is inhomogeneous (number of nuclei decreases from the “surface” of gel particles to their “interior”); the homogeneous distribution may be a special case.
