A modified alkali silicate composition for forming an inorganic network matrix. The modified alkali silicate matrix is made by reacting an alkali silicate (or its precursors such as an alkali hydroxide, a SiO2 source and water), an acidic inorganic composition, such as a reactive glass, water and optional fillers, additives and processing aids. An inorganic matrix composite can be prepared by applying a slurry of the modified aqueous alkali silicate composition to a reinforcing medium and applying the temperature and pressure necessary to consolidate the desired form. The composite can be shaped by compression molding as well as other known fabrication methods. A notable aspect of the invention is that, although composite and neat resin components prepared from the invention can exhibit excellent dimensional stability to 1000° C. and higher, they can be prepared at the lower temperatures and pressures typical to organic polymer processing.
An inorganic matrix composition comprising the reaction product of an alkali silicate and/or alkali silicate precursors derived from alkali hydroxides or oxides and a silica source, a reactive glass, water, and optionally a clay and/or oxide filler.
A composition comprising the reaction product of water and the following mixture:
A composition comprising the reaction product of water and the following mixture:
A composition comprising the reaction product of water and the following mixture:
An alkali silicate slurry composition for forming an inorganic polymer network comprising an alkali silicate or a mixture that yields an insitu alkali silicate, a reactive acidic glass, water and operationally a modifier that moderates the gelation of matrix binder suspension and/or a clay and/or oxide filler to enhance physical and thermal properties.
