N. Ohtani et al., SYNTHESIS OF YTTRIUM-STABILIZED ZIRCONIUM -OXIDE FROM METAL ION-CONTAINING INTERPOLYMER COMPLEX - INTERPOLYMER COPRECIPITATION METHOD, Nippon Seramikkusu Kyokai gakujutsu ronbunshi, 104(1), 1996, pp. 71-74
A novel method for preparing ceramic precursors via homogeneous mixing
of different metal ions from aqueous solutions is presented. Using so
dium polyacrylate-polyethyleneimine interpolymer complex, precursor co
precipitates containing 99-95 mol% zirconium and 1-5 mol% yttrium ion
were prepared. Yttrium-stabilized zirconium oxides synthesized from th
e precursors were produced by heating at 800 degrees C for 5h. This me
thod was exemplified to be convenient and useful for the preparation o
f some ceramic precursors.
