Microstructural Transformations in Alumina Gels

MRS Online Proceedings Library volume 32, Article number: 321 (1984) Cite this article

Abstract

Microstructural development in alumina gels is dominated by a series of phase transformations between the hydrous oxides to transition alumina phases, between transition phases, and transformation to alpha-alumina. These microstructural transformations are illustrated in boehmite AlOOH and bayerite Al(OH)3 gels.
