Leucite has been widely used as a constituent of dental ceramics to modify the coefficient of thermal expansion. This is most important where the ceramic is to be fused or baked onto metal. However, its physical property was unpredictable since it was sensitive to several parameters such as sintering temperature and concentration of raw materials. In this research study, leucite ceramic particles were synthesized by in-house sol-gel process. The morphology and size of our synthesized leucite particles were analyzed by SEM, vicker hardness and XRD, respectively. It was revealed that the sintering temperature played the important role on several properties of leucite ceramic particles.
