Abstract

The development and the current status of the Solution-Sol-Gel or the Sol-Gel (SG) process for preparation of different ceramic materials in various (i.e., bulk, powder, wire, thin film, aerogel, etc.) forms and shapes have been outlined in this article.

In view of the much greater attention having been paid to oxide-ceramics, the chemistry of the main precursors being employed for them, i.e., metal alkoxides, is briefly described followed by an indication of the efforts being made to elucidate (by the latest physico-chemical techniques) the mechanism of the different steps involved, e.g. mixing of solutions; conversion from solution to sol and then to gel and finally sintering the gel to the desired ceramic material, in the Sol-Gel Procedure. A brief account is also presented of the efforts being made to extend the applications of the technique to new demands such as those of super-conducting materials.

The much lower temperature(s) of operation involved in the process facilitate the applications of the SG technique to the Organically Modified CERamics (Ormocers) and other materials suitable for applications in areas like non-linear optics and bio-systems. The SG technique is now being rapidly extended to many other types of materials such as nitrides and sulphides.

Finally, an attempt has been made to peep into the future potential of the fastly developing SG processes.
