Abstract

The present paper reports on the characterization and on sintering studies of nanometer-sized polycrystalline ZrO2 prepared by the technique of crystallite condensation, oxidation, and in-situ compaction. The annealing induced growth of crystallites as well as a transformation from the tetragonal to the monoclinic phase were observed. A rapid increase of the mass density and of the microhardness during annealing up to 1000 °C indicates attractive sintering characteristics. By means of positron lifetime spectroscopy the development of the pattern of structural free volumes during sintering was studied.
