Ceramic Powders for Advanced Ceramics: What are Ideal Ceramic Powders for Advanced Ceramics?

Abstract

One of the most important factors for advanced ceramics preparation is nature of the powders. There are many methods to prepare powders for ceramics, namely, mechanical, thermal decomposition, precipitation, hydrolysis, hydrothermal, melt and quenching, etc. This is a review of powder preparation for advanced ceramics. Characteristics of these methods are described. And also ideal powder for advanced ceramics is described.
