Abstract Commercially available ZnO powder was mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill. In order to investigate the specific surface area, pore volume and microstructure of non-activated and mechanically activated ...

The influence of the mechanical activation of ZnO nanoparticle fillers on the structural and electrical properties of the matrix of poly(vinylidenefluoride)-ZnO (PVDF-ZnO) films was investigated. Transmission electron ...

Zinc-titanate ceramics were obtained by initial mechanical activation in a high-energy planetary mill for 15 min followed by sintering at temperatures 900-1100°C for 2 h. Room temperature far infrared reflectivity spectra ...

Zinc oxide and titanium dioxide powders mixed in an equimolar ratio are mechanically activated in a planetary ball mill and sintered under nonisothermal and isothermal conditions. Nonisothermal sintering is studied using ...

The initial-stage of sintering plays a significant role in determining the final microstructure that defines the main characteristics of electroceramics materials such as functional properties. In this article non-isothermal ...

Thermally activated processes in cordierite-based ceramics were investigated to determine the effect of the mechanical activation and the addition of TeO2 on kinetic and thermodynamic parameters of these processes. Using ...

Titanium dioxide is a photocatalyst, known not only for its ability to oxidize organic contaminants, but also for its antimicrobial properties. In this article, significant enhancement of the antimicrobial activity of TiO2 ...

Mixtures of ZnO and SnO2 powders, with molar ratio of 2:1, were mechanically activated for 40, 80 and 160 minutes in a planetary ball mill. The resulting powders were compacted into pellets and non-isothermally sintered ...
