Metal Alkoxide Synthesis of Glasses and Glass-Ceramics
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 26 February 2011
Abstract
Metal alkoxide syntheses of the general form or can be used to form soluble alkoxides of most metals. Mutual solution of these alkoxides followed by acid or base hydrolysis, drying and calcining results in the formation of fine-grained (<10Å) amorphous powders at low temperatures. Subsequent hot-pressing or calcining leads to densification and/or crystallization. Compositions in the MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system with ZrO2 contents to 30 mol% are discussed. Also glass formation of transition oxides derived from metal alkoxides of Hf, Zr, Y and Nb in various combinations are presented.
