Abstract
Porous nanocomposites in the Al2O3-ZrO2 system were studied with a view to understand the selection rules for developing high temperature stable porou s oxide systems. The results were also compared with TiO2-Al2O3 nanocomposi te systems. The pore structure and phase evolution of these composites were studied using TG/DTA, XRD and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. A l2O3 was found to be a good second phase stabiliser for stabilising ZrO2 an d TiO2 matrix phases.
