SYNTHESIS AND STUDY OF HIGH-PURITY NANOCRYSTALLINE POWDER OF A SOLID SOLUTION OF CEO2 AND Y2O3 IN ZIRCONIUM DIOXIDE

摘要

A technology for synthesizing a high-purity nanocrystalline powder of zirconia doped with yttrium oxide and ceric oxide, namely ZrO2 (5% Y2O3 and 3% CeO2), is developed. The powder is characterized by high activity during sintering and the absence of hard agglomerates. The technology can be used to synthesize powders for manufacturing structural, functional, and medical purpose non-ageing ceramics.
