The lithium aluminosilicate system (LAS) is being explored for almost seven decades due to
its anomalous and attractive properties (especially low/negative thermal expansion and fast …

A simple, soft, and fast microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used for the
preparation of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite powders from commercially-available Fe (NO 3) …

Processing of ceramic materials has also a strong impact in the quality of the consolidated
body, as it plays a key role in the resulting microstructure and, as a consequence, in its final …

Dense alumina toughened zirconia nanocomposites (ATZ, 3Y-TZP with 20 wt% Al 2 O 3)
were densified by non-conventional microwave sintering technology at relatively low …

In this study, the ceramic material β-eucryptite was synthesized by using solid reaction
method based on utilizing the waste silica fume, calcined alumina and lithium carbonate …

Aim of the present study is to sinter zirconia nanocomposite powders doped with ceria and
toughened with alumina (10Ce-TZP/Al 2 O 3) by non-conventional means, ie microwave …

Abstract Lithium Aluminium Silicate (LAS) samples were fabricated through a melt casting
process using Lithium carbonate, Aluminium hydroxide, Silica and other additives as raw …

Microwave-assisted processes have recognized advantages over more conventional
heating techniques. However, the effects on the materials' microstructure are still a matter of …

Abstract The LZS glass-ceramic (19.58 Li 2 O· 11.10 ZrO 2· 69.32 SiO 2) have a high
coefficient thermal expansion (CTE) which can be a limitation in some applications. The …
