Abstract
Monodispersed spherical particles of ZrO2 were synthesized in an aqueous medium by homogeneous precipitation without being using any capping agent. Results revealed that size and uniformity of the synthesized particles were greatly dependent upon the experimental conditions. SEM, XRD, and FT-IR were used for characterization of selected particle systems. SEM analysis showed the spherical morphology of the as-prepared particles, which remained unchanged even after calcination at 750
