Abstract

Diphasic gels prepared by mixing freshly prepared polymeric silica and polymeric boehmite sols through a modified Al-alkoxide route in mullite compositions led to the crystallization of mullite upon heat treatment at 775 °C. Mullite formation was observed at a 100 °C higher temperature when diphasic gels were formed by mixing aged polymeric sols containing about 2 nm in diameter boehmite species. These relatively low mullite formation temperatures were attributed to the nanoscale sizes of the polymeric species of the two amorphous phases present in the diphasic gels.
