Aluminum nitride. Preparation methods (Review)

  • Published:
Refractories and Industrial Ceramics Aims and scope

Russian and overseas sources published in the last twenty years for aluminum nitride preparation methods are studied. Both basic and relatively simple technology, as well as atypical innovative procedures, are analyzed, making it possible to form a complete picture of aluminum nitride preparation methods within the world.
