A novel composition comprising of nano zirconia and nano silica powder, having an average particle size in the range of at ieast 2 nm to 70 nm was synthesized effectively utilizing the as received zircon flour. The composition thus obtained compri,§.es predominantly of silica rich and zirconia rich regions wherein the said silica region exists in the range of 40- 60 weight percent and the said zirconia region exists in the range of 40- 60 weight percent. The synthesized composition with improved strength can be effectively utilized in medical applications such as that of dental fillers.
