cazro3 nanoceramics were successfully synthesized at 700 c using the molten salt method, and the effects of processing parameters, such as temperature, holding time, and amount of salt on the crystallization of cazro3 were investigated. cacl2, na2co3, and nano-zro2 were used as starting materials. on heating, cacl2–nacl molten eutectic salt provided a liquid medium for the reaction of caco3 an...

Background Polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) is widely used for the fabrication of removable prostheses. Recently, zirconium oxide nanoparticles (nano-ZrO2) have been added to improve some properties of PMMA, but their effect on the optical properties and tensile strength are neglected. Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of nano-ZrO2 addition on the translucency and te...

NanoTiO2 , nanoZrO2 and TiO2 /ZrO2 nanocomposite were prepared via sol gel method by using ultrasonic irradiation. The precursor sol of zirconium was prepared from an aqueous solution of ZrCl4 and titanium tetra 2-propoxide was diluted by 2-propanol and deionized water The TiO2 /ZrO2 nanocomposite was synthesized from directly mixing Titanium dried gel into Zirconium gel. The reaction mixture w...

we report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of la2o3-co3o4-zro2 nanostructure. the la2o3-co3o4-zro2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the co-precipitation. composite powders have been characterized by xrd (x-ray diffraction), sem (scanning electron microscopy) and bet (brunauer-emmett-teller). x-ray diffraction showed the formation of nano crystalline, l...

objective: today, special attention is paid to the use of zirconium dioxide nanoparticle (nano-zro2), a neutral bioceramic metal, particularly for drug and gene delivery in medicine. however, there are some reports implying that use of nano-zro2 is associated with cytotoxic effects like inhibiting the cell proliferation, dna damage and apoptosis. in the present study, we examined whether nano-z...

nanocrystalline zro2 with particle size of about 38 nm was directly synthesized by sol-gel auto-combustion method. the overall process involved three steps: formation of homogeneous sol at 50-55°c; formation of dried gel at 110°c, and combustion of the dried gel at 400°c. experiments revealed that zro2 dried gel derived from glycine (fuel) and nitrate sol exhibited self propagating combustion a...

Nanocrystalline ZrO2 (Zirconia) has been synthesized by a conventional precipitation method. The structural, morphological, microstructural, optical and gas-sensing properties of ZrO2 were investigated by using X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-vis spectroscopy and static gas sensing unit, respectively. X-ray diffrac...

An alumina–zirconia composite containing 5 mol% zirconia was prepared by following a wet interaction process in aqueous medium via the sol–gel route. The formed hydrogel which was aged for proper growth and orientation at room temperature, was then dried at a low temperature to minimize agglomeration. The sol–gel derived precursor powder was properly characterized through determination of surfa...
