Results from preliminary coarsening studies on chemically synthesized, monosized, spherical "ideal" titania powders indicated particle coarsening characteristics were strongly influenced by unanticipated particle substructure. 1 Such substructure should also affect sintering, however, particle substructure was not recognized and accounted for' in previous sintering studies using this powder.The present study examined the sintering behavior of compacts comprised of monodispersed agglomerates and correlates changes in macroscopic dimensions with changes in particle microstructure and chemistry.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
