Abstract

The synthesis of mixed oxide ceramic powders that consist of very fine (submicron)-monodisperse particles with uniform composition is desirable in the improvement of existing ceramics and the development of new ceramic materials. Metal alkoxide hydrolysis is a very attractive method for the synthesis of ultrapure composite powders at low temperatures by the sol-gel process.

The present study investigates the effects of the hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides and the condensation products on the growth kinetics and morphology of composite particles containing alumina and titania. Alkoxides of titanium and aluminum are employed; therefore, powders of high purity are produced. Since various solvents are used as media for powder synthesis, the effect of the solvent on particle morphology will also be discussed.
