Ultrafine γ-A12O3 particles are synthesized in Triton X- 10 0/n - hexanol/cycloh exan e/wat er water in o if(w/o )Inicroemulsion by mixing two separately prepared microemulsions containing Al(NO)3 and (Wb)ZCO, respectively.The ultrafine Al2O3 particles are characterized by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD)and their size and distribution are measured. The effects of water, surfactallt and reactant concentrations on the particlesize and distribution are studied. The results show that the particle size and distribution can be changed by varying thepreparation conditions, and the size of the microemulsion droplets has a controlling effect on the size of the pafticles. A. possible mechanism of ultrafine particles (UFPs) prepared by microemulsions is proposed.
