The effects of powder characteristics and conformation methods on green microstructure have been investigated, and microstructural evolution was analyzed based on the green density and the different sintering techniques. ...

PLZT ceramics belong to one of the very important groups of functional materials that make a basis for the production of a large range of electronic devices. The microstructure and properties of ceramics depend on the ...

The results for the sintering of Bi4Ti3O12 (BIT)-doped BaTi0.85Zr0.15O3 (BTZ) thick films, deposited by electrophoresis, using as heating source a CO2 laser are presented. The thermal process associated to the laser scanning ...

Objective: Continuous efforts have been made to hasten the zirconia densification process without compromising properties. This study evaluated the long-term structural durability of microwave speed-sintered zirconia (MWZ) ...

PLZT ceramics belong to one of the very important groups of functional materials that make a basis for the production of a large range of electronic devices. The microstructure and properties of ceramics depend on the ...

Sintering of powders commonly leads to simultaneous densification and grain growth, particularly for nanocrystalline materials. Currently, methods such as spark plasma sintering (SPS), hot pressing (HP), two-step sintering ...
