This study aim is to understand the effects of paste preparation process parameters Acid/Oxide ratio,paste peak temperature and curing temperature on establishing the crystal morphology of paste and tooptimize the conditions to favor homogeneity and good crystal morphology. Full factorial DoEtechnique with three factors in three levels was used to design the experiments. The paste prepared asper experiment design was analyzed for surface area using gas adsorption method, for crystal sizeusing scanning electron microscope and analyzed by XRD to confirm the relative proportions ofcrystals. It was found that paste peak temperature and curing temperature exhibited significantinfluence in controlling the surface area and crystal growth. While Acid/Oxide ratio having influencein surface area and a effect on crystal distribution.
