Fine spinel powder was prepared from the Mg-Al double alkoxide synthesized using magnesium powder, aluminum foil and sec-butyl alcohol. This powder was compared with powder prepared by mixing two commercial alkoxides. The spinelization was started at 50$0^{\circ}C$ and was almost completed at 100$0^{\circ}C$ with a good crystallinity in the double alkoxide system. In mixed alkoxide system, homogeneous spinel powder was not obtained and MgO existed as a second phase because of solubility and hydrolysis rate differences of two alkoxides. The relative density of specimen prepared by double alkoxide was 99% and specimen prepared by mixed alkoxide was 95%. The modulus of rupture of specimens prepared by double alkoxide and mixed alkoxide was 49.9kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$ and 41.6kg/$\textrm{mm}^2$, respectively.

Chelated titanium alkoxides are hydrolysed showly and stable enough to prepare multicomponent gels of titania without its precipitation due to the fast hydrolysis of Ti alkoxide. The alkoxy groups of chelated titanium alkoxide are hydrolysed as fast as that of titanium alkoxide but the chelating groups are stable even in aqueous solution. The chelating groups showed different rates of hydrolysis in aqueous ammonia solution and water added one. Those rates were monitored with UV-VIS spectrophotometer by using their unique absorption bands before and after hydrolysis.

Aluminum sec-butoxide was synthesized from aluminum foil and alcohol. The characteristics of the alumina powder prepared from the synthesized alkoxide by the Yoldas method were studied. As a result of measuring the synthesized aluminum sec-butoxide by GC, the purity of the synthesized alkoxide was 98.7% on the basis of commercial alkoxide and the yield was 78.5%. A127-MASNMR analysis shows that powders dried at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and $\alpha$-Al2O3 have 6-cordinated structure and ${\gamma}$-Al2O3 has 4-coordinated structure. The characteristics of alumina powder prepared from the synthisized alkoxide showed the same characteristics with the alumina powder prepared from the commercial alkoxide.

The synthesis of hydroxy-terminated poly(propylene carbonate)(HTPPC) was performed by the reaction of propylene carbonate(PC) with alcohol initiator using metal alkoxides, crown ethers and quaternary onium salts as catalysts. The effects of catalyst structure, types and concentration of alcohol, and solvent were investigated. Among the alkoxide catalysts tested, the ones with higher Lewis acidity and with more nucleophilic alkoxide anion showed higher catalytic activity. Mixed catalysts of metal alkoxied and crown ether showed higher conversion of PC than metal alkoxide alone. Quaternary onium salts of bulky cation exhibited higher catalytic activity. High polar solvent showed higher yield of HTPPC and the yield increased with the decrease of [PC]/[Initiator] ratio.

LAS system, which is difficult to be sintered, was densified by using the powder synthesized from metal alkoxides. Sinterability, thermal and mechanical properties were improved through synthesizing the complex oxide powder from the addition of Ge as an alkoxide. As a result, the synthesizing and sintering temperature of the LAS system lowered by about 10$0^{\circ}C$ and its modulus of rupture (MOR) increased twice higher compared to the sample from the oxide by the direct method.

In order to synthesize the heat resistance ceramics of LAS system, we studied on preparing the fine powder with homogeneity by sol-gel method using metal alkoxide. Various results were obtained depending on the composition and process. When the amount of H2O added at initial stage is higher than 10mol/$\ell$, and when the amount of catalyst is 0.1mol/$\ell$, the particle size of synthesized hydrate becomes finer. On condition that partial prehydrolysis time of TEOS is more than 50 hours, the monosized fine powder is obtained(below 1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$).

Basic research on the formation of monolithic glasses from metal alkoxide has been done concerning gelling of silicon alkoxides and dehydration of those gells. The felling time were increased with increasing of Carbon number of alkyl radical of alkoxide and am-ount of water and the lower pH value of water. Large portions of water and organic materials were rem-oved below 25$0^{\circ}C$ and shrinkage of glass took place above 80$0^{\circ}C$ Therefore heating up to 25$0^{\circ}C$ and above 75$0^{\circ}C$ must be done gradually with rate of 0.5$^{\circ}C$/min.

The important factors of reaction conditions in sol-gel transition of silicon alkoxide solution have been reviewed and discussed on the basis of Raman study. Various factors such as type of catalyst, alkoxide, solvent, drying control chemical additive and water content affect the conversion mechanism in sol-gel process.
