Monodispersed $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powders were prepared by Sol-Gel processing and their surface electrical and UV absorbance properties were investigated. Pseudomorph ZnO fine powders were microcapsuled by $SiO_2/ZnO$ sol fabricated using TEOS[tetraethylorthosilicate, purity 98% and ethanol as a solvent with $NH_3$ catalyst. The effects of experimental parameters such as molar ratio of starting materials on the final particle size and shape of $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powder were discussed. As a result, we could controlled the size of monodispersed $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powders without agglomeration, as well as the good dispersibility in aquous solution. The prepared powders were observed to have the mean particle sizes of $0.26-0.78{\mu}m$ with standard deviations of $0.020-0.063{\mu}m$.
