Abstract
Low-viscosity alkoxysilanes that polymerize into the porous network of decayed stone by a sol-gel process are widely used as stone consolidants. During drying, the gel network contracts due to capillary pressure generated by solvent evaporation. We have prepared tetraethoxysilane mixed solution containing methyltrisilane, ethyl trisilane and (3-glycidyloxypropyl)trimethoxysilane having epoxy ring in order to reduce the shrinkage happened inside the stone porous structure during the gel formation. Mixed solutions were applied into sandstone and granites and characterized by FT-IR, SEM. The gelation time, water uptake, contact angles were measured and compared with those of the commercial stone conservation materials.
