Abstract

Ceramic powders of carbides, oxides, solid solutions of oxides, magnetic and non-magnetic spinels, superconductors and composites have been successfully synthesized in a thermal plasma jet reactor using a novel counter-flow liquid injection plasma synthesis (CF LIPS) method developed to overcome the problems associated with solid injection and to realize the benefits of gas phase reactions and counter-flow injection. Standard material characterization techniques have been used for powder analysis.
