Abstract

New materials were made by infiltration of sol-gel boehmite thin films with copper acetate. The structure and phase transformation of these materials during heat treatment were studied. It was found that infiltration in the boehmite state did not end up in the same material as direct infiltration in the θ-alumina derived from boehmite, even after both types of materials were heat-treated at 900 °C. Infiltration in boehmite makes it possible to synthesize sandwich structures comprised of alternate layers of CuO and of γ-alumina.
