Ml. Calzada et al., INVESTIGATIONS OF A DIOL-BASED SOL-GEL PROCESS FOR THE PREPARATION OFLEAD TITANATE MATERIALS, Journal of the American Ceramic Society, 78(7), 1995, pp. 1802-1808
Lead titanate sols were prepared by a sol-gel method from lead acetate
trihydrate, Pb(OOCCH3)(2) . 3H(2)O, and titanium di-isopropoxide bis-
acetylacetonate, Ti (OC3H7)(2)-(CH3COCHCOCH3)(2), in 1,3-propanediol,
HO(CH2)(3)OH, as solvent. IR analysis and NMR spectroscopic techniques
were used to study the reaction mechanisms and to identify possible p
olymer structures developed during synthesis of the solutions.
