Plastic deformation of nano-TiO2 ceramics prepared by different methods

The comparative study of the tensile plastic deformation of nano(n)-TiO2 ce ramic prepared by physical gas condensation (P) and chemical hydrolysis pre cipitation (C) methods was conducted by a gas pressure forming technique at 750 similar to 800 degrees C. The results show that n-TiO2 (P) possesses e xcellent property of tensile plastic deformation comparing with n-TiO2 (C). The reason for this is attributed to the surface cleanness and soft agglom eration of n-TiO2 (P) particle prepared in relatively clean vacuum conditio n.
