Abstract

The preparation of homogeneous gels from liquid solutions necessitates the prevention of precipitation. This becomes increasingly difficult in multicomponent systems. Currently, there are no systematic considerations on precipitation in sol-gel solutions. This paper is concerned with the methods to control precipitation in alkoxide solutions. Each method is applied to specific systems, containing alkoxides of various metals, such as yttrium, lanthanum, barium, and titanium, in alcoholic solutions.
