Abstract: Alumina polymers are studied at various degrees of branching using X-ray and light scattering. A combination of static and dynamic data shows that lattice animal-like structures are formed which break apart and swell on dilution. We observe a threshold for large-scale polymerization when there are 2.5 bridging groups per A1. Below this value only polynuclear species occur whereas above this value the system gels.
