Li2O-Al2O3-P2O5-SiO2 xerogel powders were synthesized by sol-gel route and glass-ceramics were prepared under different forming pressure and sintering temperature. The effects of sintering temperature and forming pressure on coefficient of thermal expansion of prepared glass-ceramics were investigated by means of DTA-TG, TEC and XRD. The results indicate that xerogel powders crystallization begins at 785°C, and the main crystallite phases in the researched specimens are virgilite and cristobalite. The TEC decreases linearly with the forming pressure. When the sintering temperature is 950°C and forming pressure is 40MPa, a low TEC of 0.65×10-6 °C-1 can be obtained.

Leucite has been widely used as a constituent of dental ceramics to modify the coefficient of thermal expansion. This is most important where the ceramic is to be fused or baked onto metal. However, its physical property was unpredictable since it was sensitive to several parameters such as sintering temperature and concentration of raw materials. In this research study, leucite ceramic particles were synthesized by in-house sol-gel process. The morphology and size of our synthesized leucite particles were analyzed by SEM, vicker hardness and XRD, respectively. It was revealed that the sintering temperature played the important role on several properties of leucite ceramic particles.

Dark brown glasses were prepared from residues of basalt quarries and wastes of ceramic factories. Addition of CaF2, Cr2O3 and their mixture CaF2-Cr2O3 were used as nucleation catalysts. Generally, structures with augite and anorthite as major phases and small amount of magnetite and olivine phases were developed through the crystallization process. In the samples heat treated at 900?C the dominant phase is augite, whereas the content of anorthite usually overcomes the augite at higher temperature (1100?C). Fine to medium homogenous microstructures were detected in the prepared glass-ceramic samples. The coefficient of thermal expansion and microhardnessmeasurements of the glass-ceramic samples were from 6.16?10-6 to 8.96?10-6?C-1 (in the 20-500?C) and 5.58 to 7.16GP, respectively.

ABSTRACTIt is important to achieve materials with large coefficient of thermal expansion in science and engineering applications. In this paper, we propose an experimentally-validated metamaterial approach to amplify the thermal expansion of materials based on the guiding principles of flexible hinges and displacement amplification mechanism. The thermal expansion property of the designed metamaterial is demonstrated by simulation and experiment with a temperature increase of 245 K for the two-dimensional sample. Both experimental and simulation results display amplified thermal expansion property of the metamaterial. The effective coefficient of thermal expansion of the metamaterials is demonstrated to be dependent on the size parameters of the structure, which means by appropriately tailoring these parameters, the thermal expansion of materials could be amplified with different amplification factor. This work provides an important method to control the thermal expansion coefficient of materials and could be applied in various industry domain.

Lithium aluminosilicate (LAS) glass-ceramics with 0 ~ 10 wt% phosphoric anhydride were prepared by sol-gel method and sintering at high temperature. Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TOES), aluminum nitrate, lithium carbonate were used as precursors. Differential thermal analysis (DTA), X-ray powder diffraction (XRD) and thermal expansion coefficient (TEC) were used to characterize the dried LAS gels and glass-ceramic blocks. The results suggest β-spodumene solid-solution is the only crystals phase in the P2O5 doped LAS glass-ceramics when sintering temperature is 950 oC. The thermal expansion coefficient of the P2O5 doped LAS glass-ceramics range from -0.1×10-6 oC-1 to 1.2×10-6 oC-1. Compared with the conventional melt quenching method, this process route provides a low temperature and timesaving method for preparing LAS glass-ceramics.

The HfV2O7/HfMo2O8 composite were prepared in situ. The phase, structure and thermal expansion property were analyzed. The results indicate the composite consist of cubic HfV2O7 and hexagonal HfMo2O8. The two types of structures were coexisted and mixed uniformly, and interacted with each other. The mutual nested structure suppressed the formation of 3×3×3 superstructure in HfV2O7 (RT) introduced by the reaction in situ. The promoted coupled rotation of quasi-rigid polyhedron units could enhance the negative thermal expansion (NTE) property. The HfV2O7/HfMo2O8 composite exhibits excellent NTE property from 250 to 673 K (at least) with CTE -3.09 × 10-6 K-1. The good NTE property and thermal stability over a wide temperature range, especially near the RT range, bring a good potential application in designing zero thermal expansion materials.
