Abstract
The stability and the hydrolysis and condensation kinetics of bis(trie thoxysilyl)ethane in the water-ethanol solution were investigated usin g FTIR spectroscopy with a transmission type cell having a very short pathlength. The pH dependence of bis(triethoxysilyl)ethane's overall s tability was measured and evaluated, and a new approach was designed t o calculate hydrolysis rate constants from the experimental results. F urthermore, equations involving both hydrolysis and condensation proce sses were solved and the calculated results were compared with experim ental data.
