Introduction Criteria that Define a Useful Precursor Precursors Containing Si and N Precursors Containing Si and C Precursors to Si  O Containing Materials

UV‐Induced Synthesis and Stabilization of Surfactant‐Free Colloidal Pt Nanoparticles with Controlled Particle Size in Ethylene Glycol

“…In order to improve the desired properties of Pt NPs, various solvents have been investigated, but ethylene glycol (EG) was established as the best option . The narrow size distribution achieved by the polyol method has been attributed to the viscosity of the solvent, preventing fast growth of the NPs …”

A Novel SiC Precursor with High Ceramic Yield: Antimony-Substituted Polysilane (APS)

“…Stability of pre-APS in the air. The high content of active Si-H groups In PMS ensured the formation of derivers but also made it readily to react with O 2 even self-ignite [6]. The instability limited the application of PMS.…”

“…It has a high ceramic yield of about 70%, but it has a disadvantage that it is solid and must be dissolved in xylene [4,5]. Another precursor PMS was liquid and could be used without solvent [6][7][8]. But the ceramic yield of PMS was no higher than 40%.…”

Bottom‐up vs reactive sintering of Al2O3–YAG–YSZ composites via one or three‐phase nanoparticles (NPs). Bottom‐up processing wins this time

“…The bottom‐up concept of materials processing argues that mixing of individual components at atomic or molecular levels offers the potential to minimize diffusion distances during processing that should minimize processing times, temperatures, and final grain sizes thereby optimizing final global properties . This concept gave rise to intense research in sol‐gel (chimie douce) and precursor processing . However, the universality of this approach conflicts with other processing mandates.…”
