Abstract
A method of preparing tubular silica glass is disclosed. The method includes the steps of first hydrolyzing silicon alkoxide with acid and then adding ultra-fine particle silica to form a sol solution. The sol solution is placed in a cylindrical container and gelled while rotating the cylindrical container to obtain a tubular gel. The tubular gel is dried and sintered to the tubular silica glass.
