Sol–gel synthesis of forsterite nanopowders with narrow particle size distribution

Fabrication of nanopowders by high energy ball milling and low temperature sintering of Mg2SiO4 microwave dielectrics

“…A number of methods to synthesize Mg 2 SiO 4 powders, such as solid state reaction, sol-gel, and aqueous methods [1,5,6,10,14,17]. Usually, with a solid state reaction method for preparation of Mg 2 SiO 4 ceramics, MgSiO 3 as a secondary phase * Corresponding author.…”

“…Various efforts have been employed to synthesize single Mg 2 SiO 4 phase such as sol-gel and other chemical methods [5,12]. By introducing nonstoichiometry and adjusting the Mg/Si ratios, Song et al obtained pure phase Mg 2 SiO 4 ceramics with an enhanced Q × f value (114,730 GHz), but the sintering temperature of the ceramics was as high as 1350 • C [7].…”

“…This is because they have nanometer particle size and very high homogeneity, leading to a reduced phase formation temperature [8]. Furthermore, compared with soft chemical methods [5], HEBM is suitable for mass production. In this study, we prepared Mg 2 SiO 4 powders via HEBM method.…”

Novel fabrication of forsterite scaffold with improved mechanical properties

“…Nanoparticle ceramics in comparison to microparticle ceramics have a number of attractive properties which includes high mechanical properties, high diffusion rates, and reduced sintering times or temperatures [33][34][35][36]. Studies on nanostructure bioceramic such as alumina, titania, and hydroxyapatite have illustrated enhanced adhesion of osteoblast cells, and decreased adhesion of fibroblast and endothelial cells [37].…”

The sol–gel approach as a method of synthesis of xMgO·ySiO2 powder with defined physicochemical properties including crystalline structure

“…The powders thus obtained, subjected to a calcination process, in many cases exhibit interesting crystalline structures with a broad spectrum of application [22][23][24][25][26].…”
