Chapter3 1 3. Sol-Gel Process and Engineering Nanostructure

Abstract The production of ceramic nanostructures and engineering of their structure are the goals of the high-tech industry. Researchers prefer the sol-gel route to control the material at the atomic scale among other methods. In this chapter, we describe the production of ceramic nanostructures in different forms such as film, fiber, glass, and powder. We also discuss about microstructures and properties of these ceramic materials and the relationship between them.
