LZSA (Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O3) glass ceramic system has shown high potential to obtain LTCC laminate tapes at low sintering temperature (<1000°C) for several applications, such as screen-printed electronic components. Furthermore, LZSA glass ceramics offer interesting mechanical, chemical, and thermal properties, which make LZSA also a potential candidate for fabricating multilayered structures processed by Laminated Objects Manufacturing (LOM) technology. The crystallization kinetics of an LZSA glass ceramic with a composition of 16.9Li2O⋅5.0ZrO2⋅65.1SiO2⋅8.6Al2O3was investigated using nonisothermal methods by differential thermal analysis and scanning electronic microscopy. Apparent activation energy for crystallization was found to be in the 274–292 kJ⋅mol−1range, and an Avrami parameternof 1 was obtained that is compared very favorably with SEM observations.

In this research, the effects of sintering temperatures on structural and bioactivity in BaFe12O19 (BF) /P2O5-CaO-Na2O bioactive glass ceramics were investigated. The BF/P2O5-CaO-Na2O bioactive glass ceramics were fabricated under various sintering temperatures in a range of 550-700 oC. X-ray diffraction (XRD) technique and the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) are used to characterize phase and microstructure. The studied samples were evaluated for mechanical properties by hardness testing. Moreover, the bioactivities of studied samples were studied by using simulated body fluid (SBF) in vitro. It was found that, the sintering temperatures are the most influential parameter on microstructure and mechanical properties of the bioactive glass ceramics. The highest density of studied ceramics was found in the sample sintered at 700 oC. The microstructural properties of the studies samples were investigated and the results were then correlated with the characteristics of sintering temperature as well as the microstructure of the bioactive glass ceramic. Moreover, the covering of bone-like apatite layer on the surface sample after a 7 day immersion in SBF suggested that the BF/P2O5-CaO-Na2O glass ceramics have acceptable bioactivities.

Low temperature co-fired glass-ceramic-Ag metal electrode systems were investigated in relation to Ag diffusion and micro structural development during firing. Sintering temperature was in a range of 800°C-900°C. At lower temperature of 800°C, Ag ion was diffused through in the LTCC substrates. However, Ag diffusion was not observed at 850°C below. Simultaneously, the densification of the electrode was greatly improved. With increasing sintering temperature, glass-ceramic to the electrode does not occur due to increase of the densification of the sample. The glass-ceramics exhibited good dielectric properties: εr=7.74, tanδ=0.7×10-3 at 850°C for 0.5h.

AbstractZinc is an essential trace element that stimulates bone formation but it is also known as an inhibitor of apatite crystal growth. In this work addition of ZnO to SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O-CaF2 glass-ceramic system was made by conventional melt-quenching technique. DSC curves showed that the addition of ZnO moved the endothermic and exothermic peaks to lower temperatures. X-ray diffraction analysis did not reveal any additional phase caused by ZnO addition and showed the presence of wollastonite and hydroxyapatite crystalline phases only in all the glass-ceramic samples. As bio-implant apatite forming ability is an essential condition, the surface reactivity of the prepared glass-ceramic specimens was studied in vitro in Kokubo’s simulated body fluid (SBF) [1] with ion concentration nearly equal to human blood plasma for 30 days at 37 °C under static condition. Atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS) was used to study the changes in element concentrations in soaking solutions and XRD, FT-IR and SEM were used to elucidate surface properties of prepared glass-ceramics, which confirmed the formation of HCAp on the surface of all glass-ceramics. It was found that the addition of ZnO had a positive effect on bioactivity of glass-ceramics and made it a potential candidate for restoration of damaged bones.

This work reports some experimental results regarding to a Li2O-ZrO2-SiO2-Al2O3 (LZSA) sintered glass-ceramic material obtained by roll pressing of glass powders (mean particle size ≈ 5 μm) with an added (7 wt.%) inorganic material (bentonite) as binder. The composition was characterized using chemical analysis, laser-scattering particle size analysis, DTA, XRD, thermal expansion, modulus of rupture (MOR) and deep abrasion (DA) measurements as well as density measurements and SEM observations. From the results it was verified that the glass-ceramic materials obtained by sintering and controlled crystallization, in the 850-1030°C temperature range, of glass powders, have properties and characteristics decisively better than those of other traditionally used materials. It is concluded that roll pressing technology is a potential candidate to produce sintered glassceramics for many applications, such as, for example, large sheets panels for electrical and thermal insulation.

Abstract The Li2O-Al2O3-TiO2-P2O5 system glass ceramic solid electrolytes were prepared by adding Li3BO3 (LB) frits. The phase composition, microstructure and electrical properties of glass ceramics were investigated by using X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and AC impedance spectroscopy. The results show that the principal crystalline phase of all glass ceramic samples was LiTi2(PO4)3. The grain sizes of glass ceramic sample increase with the increase of sintering temperature. When the additive amount of LB is 1wt %, the glass ceramic solid electrolyte sintered at 950 oC shows the highest room-temperature ionic conductivity of 1.9×10−4 S.cm−1, which can be expected to be used in solid-state lithium-ion batteries.

This paper studied the dielectric performances and microstructure of the Ba-Ti-B-Si-O glass-ceramics fabricated with different methods. The experimental results showed that the pre-calcined method was an effective way to decrease the sintering temperature in glass-ceramic fabricating process, and the dielectric properties of the LTCC materials were εr ≈10, tanδ ≤ 2×10-3 (@1MHz). This study provided a composite method to fabricate LTCC for different applications that was composed of pre-calcined powders and molten powders with different ratios; Moreover, the dielectric constant and sintering performance of composite LTCC were adjustable by changing the ratio of pre-calcined powders and molten powders.
