Title: | Synthesis of platelet-shaped boehmite and gamma-alumina nanoparticles via an aqueous route | Authors: | LEPOT, Nadia VAN BAEL, Marlies VAN DEN RUL, Heidi D'HAEN, Jan PEETERS, Roos FRANCO, Dirk MULLENS, Jules |
Issue Date: | 2008 | Publisher: | ELSEVIER SCI LTD | Source: | CERAMICS INTERNATIONAL, 34(8). p. 1971-1974 | Abstract: | Synthesis and characterization of gamma-boehmite and gamma-alumina nanoparticles with a platelet shape are described. First an environmentally friendly hydrothermal synthesis method is applied to form nanostructured. gamma-boehmite, starting from the hydrolysis of aluminium alkoxide. Subsequently gamma-alumina nanopowder is obtained after calcination of the gamma-boehmite at 600 degrees C. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) reveals that the particle size gamma-AlOOH and gamma-Al2O3 lies between 30 and 80 nm. Furthermore, the nanopowders have been characterized by photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) and X-ray diffractometry (XRD). (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.
