The sol-gel process begins with selecting suitable precursors, initiating hydrolysis and condensation reactions, and controlling reaction conditions. Typically, metal alkoxides such as titanium ...

Esters, fats and oils Esters are formed in condensation reactions and broken by hydrolysis. Fats and oils, important compounds in our diet, are naturally occurring esters and their structure ...

Esters are formed by the condensation reaction between an alcohol and a carboxylic acid. This is known as esterification. In a condensation reaction, two molecules join and produce a larger ...
