M. Pan et al., Preparation of zirconia xerogels and ceramics by sol-gel method and the analysis of their thermal behavior, THERMOC ACT, 376(1), 2001, pp. 77-82
Highly stable, homogeneous zirconia xerogels and ceramics were prepared fro
m PZOs obtained by chelation of ethyl acetoacetate (Hetac) or acetylacetone
(Hacac) to zirconium. The structure of PZO was analyzed by (1) H NMR. The
thermal behavior of zirconia xerogels and ceramics were also determined by
thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA), Fourier transform
-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction (XRD). (C) 2001 Elsevi
