This paper studies the feasibility of using flame spray to produce ZrO2 nano-particles using a liquid precursor. The effects of varying precursor concentrations and ratio of diluting medium on the phase composition, size and morphology of ZrO2 nano-particles are discussed. The morphology and size of the ZrO2 nano-particles was very much dependent on the precursor concentration. The solvent rati...

nanocomposite of zro2/zno was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing zirconium and zinc gels. the mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours. after the aging time and filtration of the reaction mixture, the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500 °c for 3h in furnace. the precursor gels of zirconium and zinc were prepared from dissol...

Abstract In this project, nano-ZrO2 particles were dispersed in aluminum powder by a Y-shape mixer. The particle size of ZrO2 powder was < 40 nm and the amount of ZrO2 reinforcement varies from 3 to 15%.The mixed powders were compacted .Subsequently the compacted discs were sintered both in the microwave oven and in the conventional muffle furnace .Using microwave –assisted sintering method led...

ZrO2 nanograins annealed at different temperatures are systematically investigated using x-ray diffraction ~XRD! and Raman spectroscopy. Our results show that bulk properties of nano-ZrO2 diminish but the defect-, surface-, and size-related features display as grain size decreases. A critical size that divides respective predominance is determined to be about 15 nm. Both XRD and Raman spectra o...

zno and zro2 photo catalysts were synthesized by sol-gel auto combustion method. the products were characterized by x-ray diffraction (xrd) and scanning electron microscopy (sem). structural and morphological properties of nano particles were investigated and the average crystalline size of zno and zro2 was obtained 44 and 51 nm, respectively. also, photo catalytic degradation of nitro phenol f...

BACKGROUND Repeated fracture of the denture base is a common problem in prosthodontics, and it represents a nuisance and a time sink for the clinician. Therefore, the possibility of increasing repair strength using new reinforcement materials is of great interest to prosthodontists. AIM OF THE STUDY This study aimed to evaluate the effects of incorporation of zirconia nanoparticles (nano-ZrO2...

Nano-sized, nonreacting, noncoarsening ZrO2 particles reinforced Sn–3.0 wt%Ag–0.5 wt%Cu composite solders were prepared by mechanically dispersing ZrO2 nano-particles into Sn–Ag–Cu solder. The interfacial morphology of unreinforced Sn–Ag–Cu solder and solder joints containing ZrO2 nano-particles with Au/Ni metallized Cu pads on ball grid array (BGA) substrates and the distribution of reinforcin...

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-ZrO2 alters ...
