Abstract Synthesis and characterization of some crystalline garnets by sol-gel techniques is described. The effects of emthanol, dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), CH2Cl2 and toluene solvents on gelation of TEOS are considered. Multicomponent gel formation in systems with stoichiometries 3CaO·Cr2O3·3SiO2 and 3CaO·Al2O2 was studied using DMSO, a polar solvent, and toluene, an apolar solvent. The dried gel was thermally treated and the powder was characterized by X-ray diffraction, differential thermal analysis/thermogravimetric analysis and scanning electron microscopy.
