Abstract
Fine spherical zirconia particles were synthesized by controlled hydro lysis of zirconium tetrabutoxide in 1-propanol in the high temperature range above 50-degrees-C and PrinciPally at a water molar ratio defin ed by H2O]0/[Zr(OC4H9)4]0 equal to 3. The nucleation process was not c ompletely separated from the particle growth process, but a coagulativ e nucleation and growth mechanism seemed to be operative.
