Abstract
A novel approach to synthetic ceramic powders based on microwave heating of metallorganic ceramic precursor compounds or mixtures of such compounds with a appropriate matrix material is described.
Numerous oxides as well as nonoxide powders with high specific surface area were obtained. Pyrolysis as well as enhanced reactivity is observed with microwave heating at lower temperatures than in conventional heating.
