A third route to advanced ceramics , in addition to the traditional sintering and deposition‐from‐gas approaches, is provided by the colloidal process. This produces ceramic materials from solution precursors via a “colloidal state”. The various stages of the process are considered, along with applications, including the preparation of new derivatives, and commercialization.
