Abstract
Monodisperse zirconia spherical particles are prepared by hydrolysis o f zirconium propoxide in 2-methoxyethanol in presence of decanoic acid as a shape stabilizer. The powder is analyzed by computer image analy sis on TEM micrographs, TG-DSC, FTIR, X-ray diffraction and nitrogen a dsorption isotherms. A competition phenomenon between aggregation and individual growth of the particles during precipitation is deduced fro m the observations.
