Ceramics by the Solution-Sol-Gel Route
Abstract
The use of solution mixing followed by gelation to make ultrahomogeneous glasses and ceramics of various oxide compositions for laboratory experimentation, with first organic and later principally colloidal inorganic, precursors was developed over 30 years ago. Major technologies that use the solution-sol-gel route have been developed to make nuclear fuel pellets, ceramic fibers, thin coatings, and abrasive grain. This article reviews the early history and summarizes present research in this field, particularly new processes aimed at achieving xerogel precursors of maximum heterogeneity with respect either to composition or to structure. Such nanocomposites provide major advantages in lowering sintering temperatures, refining microstructure, and controlling morphology and final phase composition.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
