Ceramic Pigments with Perovskite Structure

The results of preliminary investigation on preparation of perovskite pigments by solid state reaction are presented. The effects of different raw materials used as component carriers on formation of colored pigments were examined. Pigment composition, optimum chromophore addition, type of mineralizer and the conditions of synthesis were determined experimentally as well as the resulting color, phase composition and morphology of powders. The wet method of preparation of starting mixtures was also analyzed.
