Abstract

A product suitable as a ceramic comprises substantially nonaggregated alumina particles with 95% by number having an aspect ratio (i.e., the ratio of the longest dimension to the shortest dimension for any single particle) not greater than 1.1 and more than 80% having an aspect ratio not greater than 1.05 and having a geometric mean size of from 0.02 to 0.5 microns. Usually the product contains no more than 3% by weight as aggregates and preferably the product is as small as can conveniently be manufactured.
