[ 1 ] - LOW TEMPERATURE SYNTHESIS OF NANOCRYSTALLINE MgAl2O4 SPINEL VIA SUCROSE PROCESS

Abstract: Nanocrystalline MgAl2O4 spinel powder was synthesized using metal nitrates and a polymer matrix-based composed of sucrose and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA). The precursor and the calcined powders were characterized by simultaneous thermal analysis (STA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). According to XRD res...
