    <![CDATA[<strong>Author:</strong> <a href="http://www.solgel.com/sgforum/member_profile.asp?PF=5883">jakeconner</a><br /><strong>Subject:</strong> bases dissolving TEOS solgel coating<br /><strong>Posted:</strong> 16 March 2010 at 3:32pm<br /><br />Hi,<br>I have been working on dip coating of acid catalyzed TEOS sols with an incorporated pH indicator dye (phenol red sodium salt) after dipcoating, I am drying at 125 degrees C for 1hr and have nice films that change color in acid or base solutions. However I seem to have a problem with basic solutions (sodium bicarbonate) at a pH of around 9 dissolving the coating from a glass microscope slide and other glass substrates. Any suggestions?<br><br>-Jake <br>]]>
