Preferred Label : precipitation;
Detailed label : precipitation in sol-gel processing;
IUPAC definition : sedimentation of a solid material (a precipitate) from a liquid solution in which
the material is present in amounts greater than its solubility in the liquid.;
Scope note : when precipitation occurs in sol-gel processing, sol particles have aggregated to
a size where gravitational forces cause them to sink or float. generally, aggregation
arises from a change in the sol that reduces the interparticle repulsion.;
