Influence of Adding SiC on Microstructure and Electrical Properties of ZnO-based Nanocomposite Varistor

In this research the influence of adding SiC on microstructure and electrical properties of ZnO-based Nanocomposite varistors were investigated. SiC was added with amounts of 10-0 mass% to ZnO-based varistor composition. It is found that SiC allows reaching to high threshold voltage with formation of fine-graine...

A Comparative Study of Thermal Conductivity in ZnO- and SnO2-Based Varistor Systems

We performed a comparative study of electrical and thermal properties of ZnOand SnO2-based varistor. The electrical properties of commercial ZnO-based varistor are equivalent to that found in SnO2-based varistor system. In spite of this, the SnO2 showed a thermal conductivity higher than commercial samples of ZnO-based varistor, which allied with its simpler microstructure and lower dopant conc...

Investigation of crystallization and sinterability properties of BaO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics containing K2O and B2O3

BaO -SiO2-Al2O3 glass ceramics containing K2O and B2O3 were prepared using conventional melting of powered batches, quenching in water and crystallization of sintered glass. XRD patterns introducehexacelsian and celsian as two major crystallized phases in sintered glass-ceramics. Presence of K2O enhances crystallization of hexacelsianin comparison withB2O3.Observations showed sintering temperat...
