Abstract.
74
Alkoxysilanes are the most frequently used consolidants for building materials. Bonding role of
previously deteriorated binder provides SiO2 gel, forming in the porous system. However the cracking of
this gel occures over the time, causing the decrease of bonding properties of the gel. In this article, the
cracking was tried to be supressed by the addition of SiO2 nanoparticles into alkoxysilane consolidant.
To evaluate the degree of cracking of the formed gels, the image analysis process was examined.

1. Introduction
The basic consolidant, modified during the experiment, was Dynasylan 40 (oligomer of tetraethoxysilane, Evonik Industries) catalysed by the neutral
catalyst dibuthyltindilaurate (Sigma-Aldrich). This
mixture is the basis of many commercially provided
alkoxysilane consolidants. This basic mixture was
modified by the silicon dioxide nanoparticles of different grain size Fig 1. Each mixture was prepared with
and without the addition of the methylen blue dye.
The dyed samples were used for image analysis. The
surface area of differently behaved mixtures was than
tested by the BET method.

4. Conclusions
Modified alkoxysilane consolidants were prepared that
were less cracked in comparison with the unmodified
consolidant after five week experiment. Those were
mixtures S-S-10 and S-M-25. It was proved, that with
help of image analysis, shrinkage of the gels can be
objectively observed. The degree of fragmentation
can be evaluated by the image analysis as well, but
the comparison of average values is not possible, due
to unequal behaviour of samples of the same mixture.
