As a first step toward the design and fabrication of biomimetic bonelike composite materials,
we have developed a template-driven nucleation and mineral growth process for the high …

Nanocrystalline α-alumina powders with a primary mean particle diameter of 10nm were
synthesized from aluminum nitrate and ammonia solution using a precipitation method. The …

A new colloidal processing method for near net shaping ceramic components is outlined.
The Direct Coagulation Casting (DCC) process offers the opportunity to produce complex …

Spherical, monosized yttria precursor particles were obtained by homogeneous precipitation
in aqueous solutions by reaction with the thermal decomposition products of urea …

In this investigation we have studied how the presence of a liquid phase affects the grain
morphology and grain growth kinetics in Al2O3 at 1800° C using the growth of both matrix …

The present article, Part I, reviews the literature on ceramic powders and organic polymers
used to compound ceramic injection moulding mixtures. The intention is to distil, from a …

Monodisperse, spherical alumina powders were prepared by the controlled hydrolysis of
aluminum alkoxide in a dilute solution consisting of octanoi and acetonitrile. The reagent …

The idea of writing this book came to us when, while working on a review on ceramic
powder preparation, we discovered that there was apparently no single and compact …

Well-dispersed spherical amorphous alumina nanoparticles with a narrow size distribution
were obtained by facile homogeneous precipitation and subsequent calcination. In the …

Recent advances in sol-gel processing, with the aim of porous ceramic oxide preparation
and applications in catalysis and membrane separation, are reviewed. Recent results from …
