Abstract

It is known that the formation of oxide nanopowders takes place in the complex process including as non-isothermal and isothermal stages. In case of powders isothermal heat treatment led to realization of sequential process at transition from amorphous state to crystalline state, in particular, dehydration, crystallization, disintegration of linked nanoparticles in amorphous matrix and ensuing growth of crystals. In this work the questions of forming of particles and ceramic based on these nanoparticles are discussed. The influence of particles characteristics which synthesized at different temperatures on kinetics of isothermal sintering is estimated. It was shown that particles size and surface characteristics influence on kind of diffusion which is realized at ceramic sintering. The possible mechanisms of isothermal stage of nanoparticles and ceramics forming are discussed.
