The aim of the work was to prepare fine La1-xSrxMnO3 powders by milling. La1-xSrxMnO3 was obtained by the coprecipitation process, in which the precipitation reagent NH4HCO3 was added to reduce the solubility and form a precipitate. The precipitate obtained was annealed at 1200 °C, during which the carbonate from the sample is lost and La1-xSrxMnO3 crystallizes. The structure and composition of the obtained powders were characterized by the X-ray analysis (XRD), which proved the composition of the manganite phase in the annealed samples and the carbonate phase in the precursor. Infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) confirmed the carbonate bands in the precursor, the presence of the desired ionic bond in the annealed sample and proved the existence of the Mn-O-Mn bond in milled annealed samples. The annealed samples were further milled at different time intervals, one, two and three hours, in order to examine the influence of the length of milling on the properties of the resulting powders. In addition, wet milling in ethanol was carried out for two hours. Thin coatings were then prepared from the fine powders obtained by milling. The powders were previously homogenized in an agate mortar with a solution of polyvinylidene fluoride in 1-methyl-2-pyrrolidinone to obtain a homogeneous paste, and then 20 μm thick coatings were drawn on the glass slides using the doctor blade technique. The morphology of the obtained coatings was investigated with a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The resulting ceramic coatings adhere poorly to the substrate and come off by touching. Therefore, this approach is not suitable for obtaining thin La1-xSrxMnO3 ceramic coatings.
