The sol formation from tin oxihydroxy peptization in different concentrations and by electrolyte addition in solution was measured. It was verified that the residual presence of chloride ions compromises the colloidal system stability. The sol-gel transition was investigated as a function of the quantity of solid particles in the aqueous environment and of aging time at 60°C by infrared spectroscopy and rheological measurements. The transition from plastic to pseudoplastic flow observed with the increase in loading suggests that a continuous and three-dimensional network formation is closely related to hydrogen bridges and/or hydrogen clusters, culminating in the gel formation. © 1990.76-83engAmmonia - SolutionsColloid Chemistry - Phase TransitionsColloids - StabilityGels - PreparationTin Compounds - GelationAqueous Colloidal SolutionsDispersed SolsTin Chloride OxidationTin Oxide Gel FormationTin Oxihydroxy PeptizationTransparent Tin Oxide GelsSemiconducting Tin CompoundsArtigo10.1016/0022-3093(90)90109-YAcesso restrito2-s2.0-002543421999712025852869675584298681870865
