Low-temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC) is an important material in the production of ceramic multilayer structures. Large and complex multilayer structures are usually fired at higher temperatures and/or longer firing times compared to the relatively thin LTCC tapes. The firing conditions of LTCC determine the phase composition and the microstructure, which both influence the physical characteristics, such as the mechanical and thermal properties. In this work the effect of the phase composition on the biaxial flexural strength and the temperature coefficient of expansion of the DuPont 951 LTCC is presented. The samples were fired at different temperatures and times to obtain different phase compositions. The phase composition, especially the mass fraction of anorthite, was correlated with the biaxial flexural strength and the thermal coefficient of expansion (TCE). A very long firing time, i.e., 100h at 800 °C, yields, apart from crystalline anorthite, the cristobalite phase. The anorthite that crystalizes from the glass phase in a dense LTCC material changes the crack-propagation mechanism and improves the biaxial flexural strength of the material. The major change in the biaxial flexural strength is observed when the anorthite phase appeared. The increasing mass fraction of anorthite does improve the biaxial flexural strength less drastically. With the increasing mass fraction of the anorthite, decreases of the TCE of the material and a small decrease of the density of the LTCC material occur.

(MgO)0.1-x(YO1.5)x(ZrO2)0.9 (MYZ) and (MgO)0.1-x(CaO)x(ZrO2)0.9 (MCZ) ceramics were prepared and their phase composition, bulk density, flexural strength, and thermal shock resistance were characterized. There was an abrupt change of c/(c+m) from 29% to 75% as 0<x<0.01 for MYZ, and a change of c/(c+m) from 42% to 88% appeared as 0.02<x<0.03 for MCZ (the c and m representing the content of the cubic and the monoclinic phases respectively). When x=0.01~0.05, the resulting MYZ specimens had the resembling c/(c+m) at about 75%, and a thermal shock resistance of more than 5 times (1100oC⇔25oC) appeared for x=0.03~0.05 specimens. However for MCZ, only specimen of x=0.01 with c/(c+m) of 33% had a thermal shock resistance more than 5 times.

This study reveals the enhancement of mechanical and thermal properties of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP- g-MA) with the addition of nanocrystalline cellulose (NCC). A nanocomposite was manufactured by blending various percentages of PP, MA, and NCC nanoparticles by means of a twin-screw extruder. The influence of varying the percentages of NCC on the mechanical and thermal behavior of the nanocomposite was studied by performing three-point bending, nanoindentation, differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy tests. The novelty of this study stems on the NCC nanoparticles and their ability to enhance the mechanical and thermal properties of PP. Three-point bending and nanoindentation tests revealed improvement in the mechanical properties in terms of strength, modulus, and hardness of the PP- g-MA nanocomposites as the addition of NCC increased. SEM showed homogeneity between the mixtures which proved the presence of interfacial adhesion between the PP- g-MA incorporated with NCC nanoparticles that was confirmed by the FTIR results. DSC and TGA measurements showed that the thermal stability of the nanocomposites was not compromised due to the addition of the coupling agent and reinforced nanoparticles.
