The influence of the presence of free PbO on densification, the perovskite/pyrochlore phase ratio, and corresponding dielectric properties has been studied for 0.9 PMN–0.1 PT-based ceramics with different added PbO excess. The sintering behavior of PMN-PT-based ceramics was basically controlled by PbO losses. However, the presence of a rich-PbO liquid phase during sintering produced pyrochlore grains, mainly located at the surface of the specimens. The dielectric properties of the PMN-PT-based materials, fabricated with different values of PbO excess, were similar when the secondary phase preferentially located at the surface was removed by polishing prior to electrode deposition. The thickness of the PbO-rich intergranular layers of the four samples with different initial PbO content was mainly independent of the amount of PbO excess because most of the free PbO was eliminated during sintering. Dielectric constant values of approximately 17,000 at 1 kHz and 40 °C were measured.

Barium-doped Ca2Nb2O7 ceramics were prepared in the form of Ca[Formula: see text]BaxNb2O7 (0 [Formula: see text] 0.6) by solid-state reaction. The solubility limit of barium in Ca2Nb2O7 was found to be [Formula: see text] based on X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy analysis. When [Formula: see text] 0.4, Ca[Formula: see text]BaxNb2O7 solid solutions with a monoclinic perovskites-like layered structure (PLS) were formed, whereas beyond [Formula: see text], a secondary phase CaNb2O6 was detected. The dielectric properties obviously depended on the barium substitution. With increasing barium amount, the dielectric constant increased from 33.5 for pure Ca2Nb2O7 to 38.6 for [Formula: see text] ([Formula: see text][Formula: see text]MHz). The Curie temperature ([Formula: see text] of the [Formula: see text] sample was 1280[Formula: see text][Formula: see text][Formula: see text]5[Formula: see text]C. The phase transition was confirmed to be the second order.

Background: Hydroxyapatite is similar to bone mineral in chemical composition, has good biocompatibility with host tissue and bone. Objective: This work aims to tailor the mechanical and dielectric properties of hydroxyapatite with zinc sudstitution, to improve wearability of implant and accelerate the healing process. Method: Pure and zinc incorporated hydroxyapatite Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 samples have been successfully prepared by means of the chemical precipitation method. Results: The results showed that hydroxyapatite(Hap) having hexagonal structure was the major phase identified in all the samples. It was found that secondary phase of β-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP) formed due to addition of Zinc resulting in biphasic structure BCP (Hap + β-TCP). A minor phase of ZnO also formed for higher concentration of Zn (Zn ≥ 2mol%) doping. It was found that the Zn incorporation to Hap enhanced both mechanical and dielectric properties without altering the bioactive properties. The microhardness increased upto 0.87 GPa for Zn concentration equal to 1.5mol%, which is comparable to the human bone ~0.3 - 0.9 GPa. The dielectric properties evaluated in the study showed that 1.5 mol% Zn doped hydroxyapatite had highest dielectric constant. Higher values of dielectric constant at low frequencies signifies its importance in healing processes and bone growth due to polarization of the material under the influence of electric field. Conclusion: Sample Z1.5 having 1.5 mol% Zn doping showed the most optimized properties suitable for bone regeneration applications.

Mullite/10 wt. %h-BN composites with 5 wt. % Y2O3 additive were fabricated by pressureless sintering at different temperatures. The densification, phase composition, microstructure, mechanical and dielectric properties of the mullite/h-BN composites were investigated. With the addition of Y2O3, the sintering temperature of the mullite/h-BN composites declined, while the density, mechanical and dielectric properties all increased. The addition of Y2O3 promoted the formation of liquid phase at high temperature, which accelerated the densification. Besides, Y2O3 particles which were located at the grain boundaries inhibited the grain growth of mullite matrix. For the mullite/h-BN composites with Y2O3 additive, the appropriate sintering temperature was about 1600°C. The relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and dielectric constant of the Y2O3 doped mullite/h-BN composite sintered at 1600 °C reached 82%, 135 MPa, 2.3 MPa·m1/2 and 4.9, respectively.

CaCu3Ti4O12 ceramics doped with 0-2.0 wt% Li2CO3 were prepared by the solid-state reaction, and their electric and dielectric properties were investigated. It is found that these ceramics had the properties of high dielectric constant and comparatively low dielectric loss. At the doping amount of 0.5 wt%, the dielectric constant is kept to be 105 with weak frequency dependence below 105 Hz, and its loss tangent (tan δ) is suppressed below 0.1 between 300 Hz-5 kHz (with the minimum value of 0.06 at 1 kHz from 218 K to 338 K). The impedance spectroscopy analysis confirms that the decrease of dielectric loss is mainly due to the increase of resistance in the grain boundary, which may be related to the influence of Ti4O7 secondary phase. Our result indicates that doping Li2CO3 is an efficient method to optimize the dielectric properties of CaCu3Ti4O12.

The influence of CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 addition on the sintering behavior, phase composition, microstructure and microwave dielectric properties of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics were investigated. The co- doping of CuO, V2O5 and Bi2O3 can significantly lower the sintering temperature of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics from 1150°C to 900°C. The Zn3Nb2O8-0.5wt% CuO-0.5wt% V2O5-2.0wt% Bi2O3 ceramic sintered at 900°C showed a relative density of 97.1%, a dielectric constant (εr) of 18.2, and a quality factor (Q×f) of 36781 GHz. The dielectric properties in this system exhibited a significant dependence on the relative density, content of additives and sintering temperature. The relative density and dielectric constant (εr) of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased with increasing CuO-V2O5-Bi2O3 additions. And also the relative density and dielectric constant of Zn3Nb2O8 ceramics increased by the augment of the sintering temperature.

The effects of CuO and V2O5 addition on sintering behaviors and microwave dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics were investigated. With CuO and V2O5 addition, the sintering temperature of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 can be effectively reduced from 1150 to 950oC. The dielectric constant of the low fired 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics was not significantly changed while the quality factor was affected by additives. The temperature coefficient of resonant frequency value was increased in negative value with the additive contents. V2O5 and CuO additives effectively improved the densification and dielectric properties of 0.7Ca2P2O7-0.3TiO2 ceramics. The correlation between the phase constituents and the dielectric properties was investigated with additive contents.

The effect of CuO/B2O3 additions on the sintering behaviors, microstructures, and microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics is investigated. It is found that the sintering temperatures are lowered efficiently from 1600 °C to 1350 °C, as 1 wt % CuO, 1 wt % B2O3, and 0.5 wt % CuO +0.5 wt % B2O3 are used as the sintering aids due to the appearance of the liquid phase sintering. The microwave dielectric properties of 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramics with the sintering aid additions are strongly related to the densification and the microstructure of the sintered ceramics. At the sintering temperature of 1300 °C, the 0.95LaAlO3–0.05CaTiO3 ceramic with 0.5 wt % CuO + 0.5 wt % B2O3 addition shows the best dielectric properties, including a dielectric constant (εr) of 21, approximate quality factor (Q × f) of 22,500 GHz, and a temperature coefficient of the resonant frequency (τf) of −3 ppm/°C.

Sintering characteristics and microwave dielectric properties of Mg4Ta2O9–5[Formula: see text]wt% B2O3 ceramics were investigated. With the sintering temperature increasing in the range of 1100[Formula: see text]C–1350[Formula: see text]C, the apparent density, [Formula: see text] and [Formula: see text] values increased firstly and then saturated at 1250[Formula: see text]C with excellent microwave properties: [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]GHz and [Formula: see text][Formula: see text]ppm/[Formula: see text]C. Compared to the pure MT ceramics, the B2O3 additives effectively decreased the sintering temperature of MT ceramics and had no detrimental effect on the properties of the MT ceramics due to the liquid phase effect.
