What is Silica Xerogel Synthesis and Density about?

This document summarizes research on the synthesis of silica xerogel from sodium silicate using a sol-gel process and ambient pressure drying. Specifically: - Sodium silicate was neutralized with citric acid to form silica gel, then the gel was aged in TEOS/ethanol solution to strengthen the network and modify the surface. - The gel was dried under ambient pressure after exchanging the pore liquid with low surface tension n-heptane to reduce capillary stress and shrinkage. - The resulting xerogel had a
