Sol-Gel Science
Sol-Gel Science presents the physical and chemical
principles of the sol-gel process at a level suitable for graduate
students and practitioners in the field. This book defines sol-gel
rather broadly as the preparation of ceramic materials by
preparation of a sol, gelation of the sol, and removal of the
solvent. The sol may be produced from inorganic or organic
precursors (e.g., nitrates or alkoxides) and may consist of dense
oxide particles of polymeric clusters. Brinker expands the
definition of ceramics to include organically modified materials,
often called ORMOSILs or CERAMERs. The emphasis of the author'
treatment is on the science, rather than the technology, of sol-gel
processing. Although a chapter on applications is included, more
detailed discussion is available in proceedings of conferences and
in the recent collection of articles,
