Abstract

Abstract Single crystals of alpha aluminum oxide are prepared in the form of sheet-like particles having an average thickness of 10 to 250 Mu and major faces averaging 15 to 1,000 m Mu 2. The particles find utility in reinforcement of plastics and can also be coated with TiO2 to give a lustrous pigment.
