The synthesis and characterization of mesostructured zirconia and titanium oxides is presented. The samples were investigated by x-ray powder diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). XRD and TEM only revealed lamellar structures for both materials, whereas AFM could detect locally restricted initial stages of cubic or hexagonal phases in a globally lamellar Ti oxide. {copyright} {ital 1997 Materials Research Society.}
