This proposal deals with chemically bonded ceramics (CBCs),                     materials formed by direct chemical reaction a temperatures below               500oC. Research involves solution chemistry and speciation, as                  well as processing and characterization of new ceramic materials                to determine their mechanical and dielectric properties.                        Molecular species in reacting phosphate and silicate solutions                  are being identified by Raman and other spectroscopic techniques.               Specific projects will emphasize use of organic templates in                    formation of CBC materials. Precipitation reactions leading to                  fibrous and composite materials will also be investigated.                      Research on the structure and composition of the solid/solution                 interface will make use of fractal structures to interpret tails                in Raman spectra, and the use of strongly absorbing substrates to               enhance spectroscopic ellipsometry measurements.
