Processing of Oxide nanopowders for Transparent Ceramics

Materials: Nanomaterials Ceramics
Application: Nanotechnology Energy Structural
Technique: Processing Characterization Synthesis

Earlier work have shown the adaptability of the Liquid-Feed Flame Spray Pyrolysis (LF-FSP) method in producing a wide range of composition. This project’s goal is to produce different nanopowder systems (Mg-Al-O, Y-Al-O, Y-Yb-Er-O…). Compositions will be studied in order to observe which kinetic phases are formed and their transformation to thermodynamic phases.These nanopowders are pressed into green bodies and sintered at low temperature to minimize grain growth in order to reach translucency while keeping high mechanical properties.
