Homogeneous powders of yttrium-stabilized quadratic zirconia

摘要

Finely divided homogeneous powders of yttrium-stabilized, essentially quadratic zirconia have a narrow particle size distribution, and are prepared by (a) adjusting the pH of a mixed aqueous solution of zirconyl and yttrium acetates to a value of at least 5, (b) eliminating the solvent from such mixed aqueous solution, and (c) pyrolyzing the solid residue resulting from the step (b).
