Abstract

A nonhydrolytic sol-gel route to aluminosilicates is proposed which avoidsthe problems associated with different hydrolysis rates for the precursors.Two pre-mullite gels (Al2O3/SiO2=3/2) wereprepared in two different ways. The conversion to mullite was studied as aprobe for chemical homogeneity. The results indicate that a monophasicprecursor (i.e. homogeneous at the atomic level) may be easily obtained byetherolysis of a mixture of SiCl4 and AlCl3.
