Abstract
A nonhydrolytic sol-gel route to aluminosilicates is proposed which avoids the problems associated with different hydrolysis rates for the precursors. Two pre-mullite gels (Al2O3/SiO2=3/2) were prepared in two different ways. The conversion to mullite was studied as a probe for chemical homogeneity. The results indicate that a monophasic precursor (i.e. homogeneous at the atomic level) may be easily obtained by etherolysis of a mixture of SiCl4 and AlCl3.
