The driving forces for this research were the need to produce simple and complex ceramic fine powders with high chemical purity, uniform particle size in the range of 0.1 to 1.0 [mu]m, and the ability to manipulate the composition to meet certain physical and electrical properties. An emulsion process has been developed for producing fine, uniform powders with sizes ranging from 200 to 100nm. The process is ideal for preparing both simple and complex compounds, including titanates, oxides, and superconductors.
