Interpretation: Would the metal alkoxide in sol-gel process be acidic or basic has to be justified
Concept Introduction:
Ceramics are
Ceramics are hard and have high melting points. They are heat insulators.
Ceramics have partly crystalline or cystalline or amorphous structure.
Example: Glass
Ceramics was prepared by a process called sintering. The resulting product was irregular in shape with cracks, spaces and imperfections. Hence, sol-gel method was employed to prepare ceramics of uniform size without much of cracks and gaps.
