Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="main" id="jace12655-abs-0001"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p>A simple method for synthesis of β‐SiAlON powder by nitridation of alumina–silica gel in ammonia was provided. Precursor was obtained from a mixture of nanosized alumina and colloidal silica. Nitridation reactions took place at 1100°C and conversion to β‐SiAlON was achieved at 1300°C for 2–3 h. The synthesized β‐SiAlON powder was nanocrystalline in size (&lt;100 nm).</p> </abstract>
