ABSTRACT:
A substantially dehydroxylated glass is formed by impregnating a dry porous silica gel with a nitrogen-containing organic compound in an organic solvent capable of solubilizing that compound. The impregnated gel is then sintered in a non-oxidizing atmosphere to form a substantially dehydroxylated, fully-densified silica glass. The gel is typically formed by a sol-gel process. The nitrogen-containing organic compound can be guanidine compounds, urea, or mixtures thereof.
