Abstract

Ceramic precursor materials in the silica-alumina-phosphous pentoxide system can be retained as solutions under suitably high or low pH conditions. Molecular species in these solutions have been characterized by their sharp, well-defined Raman spectra. Changes in pH or reduced water activity by addition of miscible organic solvents takes the system across sharp precipitation boundaries. Precipitates can take the form of colloidal gels, polymerized gels, or crystallites depending on chemical composition and rate of precipitation. Raman spectra of precipitates immersed in their parent solutions have much less structure and broader bands. Information of the structural characteristics of the precipitates are deduced from band widths and the amount of fine structures related to the coherence length for Raman scattering. Phosphate-rich compositions tend to be more highly ordered with more detailed spectra than the silicate rich compositions.
