Abstract
The formation and growth of polymeric particles during the hydrolysis and condensation of PbZr0.3Ti0.7O3 (PZT 30/70) sol-gel precursor solutions have been investigated by using photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS), small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS) and by measuring their rheological properties. The measurements showed that the growth of the particles in the transition of PZT sol to gel followed a simple polymerisation process. A model for the form of the aggregates is discussed which is applicable to PZT organometal-particle aggregation process in systems with acetic acid as a modifier.
