Nanostructured and near defect-free ceramics by low-temperature pressureless sintering of nanosized Y-TZP powders
Nanosized (∼6 nm) Y-TZP (3 mol% Y2O3) powders have been produced by chemical co-precipitation (Y-inorganic + Zr-organic precursors) and thorough isopropanol-washing step, after calcining in air at 450 °C. The nan...
