Fabrication and Thermal Expansion of Al-ZrW₂O₈ Composites by Pulse Current Sintering Process

Synthesis of ZrO2/ZrW2O8 composites with low thermal expansion

“…However, their observed thermal expansion behavior included large hysteresis which might be a problem for practical application. Preliminary studies of Cement/ZrW 2 O 8 composites producing zero thermal expansion mortars [13] and Al/ZrW 2 O 8 composites have been reported and published [14]. ZrO 2 has been widely used in optical, electrical fields.…”

Preparation and thermal properties of zirconium tungstate/copper composites

“…At present, ZrW 2 O 8 can be mixed with metals, oxides and polymers to prepare composites with the desired thermal expansion properties. Preliminary studies of ZrW 2 O 8 composites comprising a matrix of metallic Al [3], cement [4], polyimide [5], ZrO 2 [6 -7] have been reported. As a metallic matrix, copper is a prior candidate because of its excellent thermal conductivity.…”

Thermal expansion and mechanical properties of pure magnesium containing zirconium tungsten phosphate particles with negative thermal expansion

“…To date, zirconium tungstate, ZrW 2 O 8 , is considered as an attractive candidate for use as an additive for tailoring the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of various materials, including metals [1,2] and polymers [3][4][5]. This is because of the strong NTE of ␣-ZrW 2 O 8 phase [6,7].…”
