MNDO and ab initio calculations for gas phase reactions of alkoxide-exchange at silicon and carbon centers have been performed. Results show that MNDO values of ${\Delta}$E's of these reactions closely parallel those of the STO-3G method. The alkoxide-exchange at silicon is shown to be facile due to the formation of stable five-coordinate intermediate while the reaction at carbon is predicted to proceed with high barrier; the difference in this substitution behavior between carbon and silicon is shown to be due to an easy valence shell expansion of silicon in accommodating an extra bond in the formation of stable five-coordinate intermediates.

The important factors of reaction conditions in sol-gel transition of silicon alkoxide solution have been reviewed and discussed on the basis of Raman study. Various factors such as type of catalyst, alkoxide, solvent, drying control chemical additive and water content affect the conversion mechanism in sol-gel process.

In case of glass ceramics and powder preparation from the metalakoxide solutions, metalakoxide solutions with a various species of alkoxy groups have unique characteristics. Therefore, in this study, the mixing ability of homogeneous sol, gel morphology and physical properties of gels were investigated by the changes in terms of the different four alkoxy groups, CH3-, C2H5-, i-C3H7-n-C4H9-, along with the catalyst for the purpose of the observation about the homogenous transition range from sol to gel. As a result, when the fixed condition was mol ratio of H2O/Si(OR)4=2.0 and variables were batch composition and addition amount of catalyst, the characteristics of Tetra-normal-Butoxysilane and Tetra-iso-propoxysilane systems had very narrow sol-gel conversion region than Tetramethoxysilane and Tetraethoxysilane system. And silicon-alkoxide, systems having narrow sol-gel conversion region were enlarged by addition of catalyst. In viewpoint of the weight loss of gel produced by hydrolysis of silicon alkoxide systems with different four alkoxy groups, the amounts of weight loss of gel containing large molecular alkoxy groups were much more than those of small molecular alkoxy group.

Basic research on the formation of monolithic glasses from metal alkoxide has been done concerning gelling of silicon alkoxides and dehydration of those gells. The felling time were increased with increasing of Carbon number of alkyl radical of alkoxide and am-ount of water and the lower pH value of water. Large portions of water and organic materials were rem-oved below 25$0^{\circ}C$ and shrinkage of glass took place above 80$0^{\circ}C$ Therefore heating up to 25$0^{\circ}C$ and above 75$0^{\circ}C$ must be done gradually with rate of 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min.

Silicon alkoxides are used as a raw materials of silica fibers, coating films and fine ceramics. Specially, the alkoxides have been confirmed the best raw material for VLSI thin film of computors in recent years. Because, the impotance of silicon alkoxides are increasing more and more now a days. And so, in thls report the synthetic methods, reaction mechanism, application fields of silicon alkoxides are summerized. Also, the results of our research and technical problems of silicon alkoxide preparation are introduced briefly.

silica의 precursor로 TMOS를 사용하여 autoclave 내에서 supersritical drying으로 투명한 TiO2-SiO2 이성분계 aerogle을 얻을 수 있었다. 반응성이 뛰어난 titanium alkoxide의 중축합반응을 억제할 수 있는 강한 산성 영역에서 투명한 Aerogel을 얻을 수 있었으며, 물을 직접 첨가하지 않고 silicon alkoxide의 축합반응의 부산물인 물을 이용하여 titanium alkoxide의 반응성을 제어했을 때 투명성이 더욱 증진되었다.

Beta-sialon powder(Z=1) was synthesized by the simultaeous reduction and nitridation of the mixed powders of Hadong kaolin and silica. Silicon hydroxide was prepared from Si-alkoxide by a hydrolysis method and amorphous silica was obtained from the calcination of the prepared silicon hydroxide. Hadong kaolin was mixed with both the silicon hydroxide and amorphous silica, respectively. The average particle size was 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the morphology of particle was rod-like and equiaxed in the case of beta-sialon powder prepared form Hadong kaolin and silicon hydroxide(COMPOSITION A), whereas the average particle size was 3${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and the morphology of particle was equiaxed in the case of beta-sialon powder prepared from Hadong kaolin and amorphous silica(COMPOSITION B). The synthesized beta-sialon powders were hot-pressed at 175$0^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours under 30 MPa in a nitrogen atmosphere after YAG composition(8wt%) was added to these powders as a sintering agent. The hot-pressed specimens were annealed a 140$0^{\circ}C$ for 4 hours in a nitrogen atmosphere. The mechanical properties of sintered bodies were investigated in terms of M.O.R., fracture toughness and hardness. The measured values are as follows. COMPOSITION A : M.O.R. 508MPa, KIC 3.5MN/m3/2, hardness 13.6GPa. COMPOSITION B : M.O.R. 653MPa, KIC 5.4MN/m3/2, hardness 13.5GPa.

The polymer-ceramic hybrid, known as 'ceramer', was synthesized by a sol-gel process by incorporating different amount of alkoxide as source of silicon in resorcinol-formaldehyde in presence of basic catalyst to get different percentage of silicon in ultimate carbonized composites. FTIR of the ceramer confirms that it is a network of Si-O-Si, Si-O-$CH_2$ and Si-OH type groups linked with benzene ring. Different amount of silicon in the ceramer exhibits varying temperature of thermal stability and lower coefficient of thermal expansion as compared to pure resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. The lower value of CTE in ceramer is due to existence of silica and resorcinol -formaldehyde in co-continuous phase. Unidirectional composites prepared with ceramer matrix and high-strength carbon fibers show lower value of flexural strength at polymer stage as compared to those prepared with resorcinol-formaldehyde resin. However, after heat treatment to $1450^{\circ}C$, the ceramer matrix composites show large improvement in the mechanical properties, i.e. with 7% silicon in the ceramer, the flexural strength is enhanced by 100% and flexural modulus value by 40% as compared to that of pure resorcinol-formaldehyde resin matrix composites.

Mixtures of carbon and silica (about 0.46${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) which was synthesized by the hydrolysis of ethyl silicate, the molar ratio of silica/carbon was fixed as 1/10(weight ratio : 1/2), were nitrided in the temperature range 135$0^{\circ}C$~150$0^{\circ}C$. The phse of the product Si3N4 was $\alpha$ phase and the morphology was hexagnoal prism and the nitridation reaction was completed in 5 hrs at 150$0^{\circ}C$ or 7hrs at 145$0^{\circ}C$. The reaction rate above 150$0^{\circ}C$ was diffusion-controlled, following Jander equation. Activation energy Q was derived from the Arrhenius plot and the value was about 101kcal/mol. Axis ratio of Lattice constants(c/a) was 0.726 and unit volume was $\AA$3, the larger the molar ratio of carbon/Alkoxide was, the smaller the particle size of $\alpha$Si3N4 was.
