SOLGEL
SOL+GEL=SOLGEL
Solgel
• Sols are solid particles in a liquid.
• Gels are nothing but a continuous network of particles
with pores filled with liquid.
• A sol gel process involves formation of ‘sols’ in a liquid
and then connecting the sol to form a network.
• By evaporating the liquid, it is possible to obtain
powders, thin films or even monolithic solid.

• Sol gel method is particularly useful to synthesize


ceramics or metal oxides although sulphides, borides
and nitrides also are possible.
