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...

Characterization and sintering behaviour of submicrometre titanium dioxide spherical particles obtained by gas-phase hydrolysis of titanium tetrabutoxide
Spherical fine (∼0.7 μm) titania powders were prepared by vapour-phase hydrolysis of a titanium tetrabutoxide/butanol solution. Powder X-ray diffraction showed that as-prepared powders were amorphous and cryst...

Processing and microstructure of porous and dense PZT thick films on Al2O3
The processing of porous PZT thick-film ceramics on Al2O3 has been studied. The films were screen-printed from a thixotropic ink of PZT with a 58% solids content. The thick films were sintered between 1000 and 11...

Phosphor-doped BaTiO3: Microstructure development and dielectric properties
The phosphor cation retards BaTiO3 formation during the first reaction stage, and favours Ba2TiO4 formation. As a consequence, the end of the reaction is only accomplished at 1150 °C. The average particle size of...
