Executive Summary 

Hydrazine is used in the hydrothermal synthesis of colloidal SrTiO3. Researchers have shown that hydrazine may effect the morphology of the particles, however recent publications have shown that the expected cubic structure of SrTiO3 is observed even in the absence of hydrazine. The effects of hydrazine will be investigated further to make a conclusion as to its exact role in the synthetic mechanism of colloidal SrTiO3
