From page 34...
... This enhanced sinterability appears to result from a combination of the small and relatively uniform particle size available in the gas-condensation method and the clean particle surfaces, and resulting grain boundaries, maintained in the in situ consolidation process. Particle agglomeration has not been a problem in the synthesis of nanophase TiO2 (Siegel et al., 1988)
