Ceramics Derived from Organo-Metallic Precursors
Abstract
Work carried out under the present grant was directed principally to the wet chemical synthesis of various oxide ceramics in film, fiber and powder forms. These include (1) chemical synthesis of high temperature oxide superconductors, the formation of glasses of such superconductors, their subsequent crystallization behavior, and the wet chemical synthesis of barrier layers for use with superconducting thin films; (2) ceramic-organic hybrid composites (POLYCERAMS); (3) synthesis and dielectric properties of POLYCERAMS (4) novel optical materials comprising of non-linear organic dyes in POLYCERAM hosts; (5) wet chemical coating of fibers for composites and synthesis of bulk transformation - toughened ceramics; (6) seeded transformation of alumina gels from different precursors; (7) ferroelectric powders, films and fibers; and (8) second harmonic generation from ferroelectric thin films.
