Sintering properties of zirconia-based ceramic composite

This study examines the effects of different ZrB2 content on various mechanical properties and electrical conductivity of ZrB2/Y-TZP composite. Composites with ZrB2 content of up to 20 wt-% were particularly beneficial at the lower sintering temperature range by achieving greater densification and better hardness than Y-TZP monolith. In contrast to the trends estimated from rule of mixture, the...

Advanced Sintering of Nano-Ceramic Materials

Electrical sintering of nanoparticle structures.

A method for sintering nanoparticles by applying voltage is presented. This electrical sintering method is demonstrated using silver nanoparticle structures ink-jet-printed onto temperature-sensitive photopaper. The conductivity of the printed nanoparticle layer increases by more than five orders of magnitude during the sintering process, with the final conductivity reaching 3.7 × 10(7) S m(-1)...

Morphology and electrical resistivity of metallic nanostructures

The electrical resistivity r of Au, Al and Cu films prepared by thermal evaporation with thickness range from 3 to 100 nm on glass substrates were studied. The r value was measured and theoretically evaluated by the Fuchs–Sondheimer (F–S), the Mayadas–Shatzkes (M–S), and the combined models. Measured r values in Al films were about seven times minor than for Au and Cu films for the minimum (3 n...
