Abstract:
Thermal mismatch between different components of a system could cause of problems like residual stress induced cracking, thermal fatigue or even optical misalignment in certain high technology applications. Use of materials with customized thermal expansion coefficient is a counter-measure to resolve such problems. Zirconium tungstate (ZrW2O8) with negative thermal expansion coefficient is capable of being used in synthesis of composites with tailored coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE).

The objectives for the thesis were to generate tough ceramics utiising the toughening mechanisms inherent to zirconia materials. The aims have been realised with the successful fabrication of hot pressed silicon nitride / zirconia composite ceramics. The zirconia was prestabilised with two different types of dopant additives, yttria and ceria, with the intention of understanding the chemical compatibility with the silicon nitride matrix and the overall effect on the subsequent mechanical properties. The volume fraction of added zirconia was also varied. The increased toughness over silicon nit

Abstract:
Industrial exploitation of ceramic nanopowders is inhibited by their poor flowability and strong tendency to agglomerate. To achieve good flowability and die-filling characteristics, controlled agglomeration is required whilst the strength of the agglomerates is minimised so that they crush into primary particles when die pressed. Yttria stabilised zirconia nanopowders with a primary particle size of ~16 nm were obtained through different drying routes from an aqueous suspension and characterised in terms of flowability and agglomerate strength.

In the last decades there has been growing interest in developing ceramic materials with high fracture toughness (Klc) and strength for structural applications. In the specific case of 3 mol% yttria-doped tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP), KIC can be increased by promoting phase transformation from tetragonal (t) to monoclinic (m) phase in front of a propagating crack tip referred to as transformation toughening. However, the stronger the tendency for stress induced transformation, the higher the risk for prematura spontaneous t-m transformation in humid atmosphere. This phenomenon, which is referr

Tetragonal polycrystalline zirconia, commonly stabilised with 3 mol% yttria (3Y-TZP), became one of the most interesting ceramics for biomedical applications due to its biocompatibility and high mechanical properties. Among them, its high fracture toughness should be highlighted, which is due to the stress-induced tetragonal-to-monoclinic (t-m) phase transformation near a crack tip. However, the tetragonal grains on the Surface can also spontaneously transform to monoclinic phase in a humid environment, phenomenon known as low-temperature degradation (LTD), which is an important issue for appl

Abstract:
Electrochemical anodization is a facile technique to synthesize ordered oxide nanostructures. Though the number of materials exhibiting anodized nanostructures has increased considerably in the recent years, only nanoporous alumina and nanotubular titania have been investigated extensively for various applications. Anodized nanostructures, nanotubes and nanopores, of zirconia are also of considerable interest for applications such as templates, sensors and solid-oxide fuel cells. In spite of the potential applications of zirconia, these nanostructures have been barely studied. As most of these

碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>材料科學與工程研究所<br>89<br>The developments of future gate oxide of MOS device for ULSI technology and next-generation capacitor of DRAM devices for memory storage require new dielectric materials. There is significant interest in using ZrO2 for the fabrication of charge storage insulators in the next generation memories. In this study, thin films of zirconia, silica, and zirconium silicate were deposited on Si(100) and glass substrates by R.F. magnetron sputtering from zirconia, silica and zirconium silicate composite ceramic targets instead of metal targets.

碩士<br>國立中央大學<br>化學工程與材料工程學系<br>103<br>The synthesis of sub-10 nm zirconia nanocrystals, as well as the dispersion of them in polar and non-polar solvents after proper surface modification, had already been accomplished in our previous studies. By adding comparable resin to the dispersion, we could prepare a transparent composite having 47 vol% ZrO2 nanoparticles and a refractive index of 1.69. Such a high reflection index material is useful as brightness enhancement film for FPD, a simpler lens-stack for cellular phone, or a more efficient second order optical design for the LED lighting syste
