Abstract
Chemical synthetic methods have played an increasing role over the last 15 years in controlling the physical properties such as size, state of aggregation and purity of advanced ceramic materials. While a variety of techniques are used for powder synthesis, certain chemical areas or themes are common to several methods. In this short overview of ceramic synthesis, conventional methods are outlined together with their limitations. Non-conventional techniques are then described in terms of these themes: colloid chemistry, homogeneous nucleation and chemistry at the organic-inorganic interface.
