The saturation-free and directionless cross-linking and interpenetration processes between La 3+ and [(H 2 PO 4 )2Al(HPO 4 )]-plasma in La−Al phosphate by mixing Al(OH) 3 , CrO 3 , and H 2 O 2 dissolved in H 3 PO 4 and La 2 O 3 as a curing accelerator, as well as the thermal stability of the La−Al phosphate bulk materials and the evolutions of the phase composition and morphology at different temperatures were studied using thermogravimetric/differential scanning calorimetry under different temperatures in a muffle furnace. The La−Al phosphates showed good thermal stability, and the thermal weight loss rate of the materials decreased from 18% before heat treatment to ∼2% after heat treatment. In addition, the La−Al phosphate bulk material showed excellent resistance to ablation when subjected to ablation by an oxyacetylene flame at 2000 °C for 30 s. It evolved into a dense LaPO 4 and AlPO 4 high-temperature phase layer on the sample surface, which prevented further ablation damage to the sample and significantly improved the temperature resistance of the La−Al phosphate bulk material.
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.
