Metastable-Tetragonal Phase Stabilization in Nanocrystalline and Sub-Micron Sized Undoped Zirconia

摘要

Nanocrystalline zirconia (ZrO-2) is an important class of ceramic oxides, which find applications as a dispersed phase to increase the fracture toughness, strength, and hardness of oxides and non-oxides ceramics, and also as catalyst/catalyst support, and membranes.
