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(CCTO) is well known to have colossal dielectric constant in the range of 105.It is widely accepted that this phenomenon may be attributed to internal layer barrier capacitance (IBLC) model. The dielectric properties of CCTO were reported to be strongly dependent on the processing conditions and grain size. In this work, CCTO samples with different grain sizes were produced by varying sintering temperature in order to investigate IBLC effect on dielectric properties of CCTO. The samples were sintered at four different temperatures, (T=1100°C, 1050°C, 1000°C and 950°C). Dielectric measurements were carried out for the samples in the frequency range of 102– 106Hz using impedance spectrometer. Electron micrographs showed that increasing temperature promoted the grain growth of CCTO while sintering. The internal crystalline defects are seen to play major role by increasing the grain conductivity in dipole formation and increased the dielectric constant of the samples.

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 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.

The SiC/FexSiycomposites were synthesized by reaction sintering process with iron tailings as raw material and carbon as reductant. The room and high temperature flexural strengths and fracture toughness of composites were studied in this paper. Fracture surfaces were observed by means of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The results showed that the room temperature flexural strength of SiC/FexSiycomposites changed along with the different contents of FexSiyand sintering temperature. The flexural strength of composites reaches the maximum at 900°C. The correlation between flexural strength and temperature is consistent with curveⅠ.The fracture toughness of composites is related to the content of FexSiy. The fracture behavior of composites is mainly transcrystalline in room temperature and intercrystalline in high temperature.

In situ bonding porous silicon nitride (Si3N4) ceramics were fabricated in air using a conventional ceramic process using Si3N4, Al2O3 and MgO as the starting materials. The effects of additives content, sintering temperature and holding time on phase composition, microstructure, dielectric properties and porosity were studied. The porous Si3N4 ceramics were composed of α- Si3N4, SiO2 (cristobalite) and cordierite. Porous Si3N4 ceramics with porosities of 34.12~50.22%, dielectric constant of 2.95~4.45 and dielectric loss of ~0.0025 were obtained.

Porous wave transmitting Si3N4 ceramics have been of great interest and technological importance in aerospace area. In this paper, the high performance wave transmitting porous Si3N4 ceramics was prepared by gel-casting method, without any pore-former. The porosity was controlled by the solid content of the slurry and the sintering temperature. The flexural strength and dielectric properties of the material were determined by three bending method and a resonant cavity method. The relationship of the dielectric constant versus the sintering temperature was discussed, and the effect of porosity on dielectric properties was investigated also. As a result, the flexural strength of the porous Si3N4 is 40-200MPa with porosity of 67-45%, dielectric constant of 2.2-3.4 in the frequency of 8GHz at room temperature. With the increase of porosity, both the dielectric constant and dielectric loss decreased. This technique is considered to be a potentially useful method to fabricate the porous ceramics with complex shape.

TiN-Al2O3 bulk composites were prepared by pressureless sintering of the as-synthesized powder products obtained by aluminothermic reduction-nitridation of aluminum dross and rutile. The effects of temperature on the densification behaviour and mechanical properties of TiN-Al2O3 composites were studied. Results showed that the bulk density of the TiN-Al2O3 composites increased with the elevated sintering temperature. When the temperature arrived at 1500 °C, the flexural strength and fracture toughness reached the highest values (201.48 MPa and 4.11 MPa·m1/2, respectively).

ABSTRACTHigh dielectric tunability, low dielectric loss tangent and appropriate level of dielectric constant are the basic requirements for applications as electrically tunable dielectric microwave devices. In our experiments, the SrTiO3 green compacts made of the powder mixtures with various particle sizes were infiltrated with a BaTiO3 precursor solution and sintered at different temperatures between 1280 and 1350 ºC for 2 hours and 1350 ºC for 6 hours. The sintering, microstructural and dielectric properties were investigated. Results showed that the relative density of SrTiO3 ceramics could reached 93% when sintered at 1280 ºC for 2 hours. When sintered for 6 hours at 1350 °C, the room temperature dielectric constant of SrTiO3 reaches 900 at a frequency of 1MHz. It has only weak temperature dependence between 100 and 500K. The reason of the low sintering temperature for the dense SrTiO3 ceramics and the effects of sintering scheme on the dielectric properties from 100 K to 500 K are discussed in this paper.
