| Abstract |
| Ceramic pigments are one of the conventional ceramic products widely used for decoration of tiles, tableware etc and the quality of this decoration is one of the factors that governs the market of the products. These pigments, prepared commercially through solid state reactions among constituent oxides, are known to often fall short of expectations regarding homogeneity and brightness of colour, preparative temperature etc. This mini-review provides a brief description of the global research going on for the development of sol-gel technologies as superior alternatives to the conventional commercial ones. The areas dealt with are the major host structures and colouring components selected in sol-gel research, necessary preparative steps for their synthesis in the form of pigments, the major advantages that accompany this processing technique and the apparent directions this research is taking. |
