Abstract

A novel approach is presented in which silica is used as a source for the synthesis of decarbonized (silicate-based) inorganic polymers. Natural silica (e.g., sand) is envisaged as an assembly of polymer chains and these chains are “extracted” from silica. This is accomplished by using a two-step method: (1) silica is converted to silicate glass, (2) silicate glass is converted to silicate polymer. The resulting materials have T_g values as low as 150 ^oC and show various characteristics of polymers. The key to the success of this method is the use of ionic liquid, which works as an ionic “plasticizer.”
