Abstract
A variety of nanosized (particle diameter ranging between 10–90 nm) ceramic oxide powders have been prepared from a versatile, efficient and technically simple polymer matrix based precursor solution. The precursor solution constituted of the metal nitrates mixed with the polymer-PVA/PAA/carboxylated starch in presence of mono-/disaccharides or, poly hydroxy compound. Thermolysis/flame pyrolysis of the precursor mass at external temperatures of around 300–500°C resulted in the oxide phase.
