Marshall Space Flight Center, National Aeronautics 1- and Space Administration, under Contract No. NAS8-20162 I covering the period from 17 June 1965 to 16 December 1965. The principal investigator for this program was Philip S. Schaffer; the research engineer was David W. Jones. W. B. Campbell was instrumental in initiating the program and provided consultation through a portion of the work. The program originated from prior Lexington Laboratory studies aimed at producing A1203 whiskers and powders by gas phase reactions . Reproduction in whole or in part is permitted for any r purpose of the United States Government. ABSTRACT The feasibility of producing powders of alumina (A1203), zirconia (Zr02) , silica (Si02), titania (Ti02), zinc oxide (ZnO) and zinc titanate (ZnTiO ) by homogeneous nucleation in 3 the vapor phase was determined. The general reaction used, whereby a metal chloride was initially formed by flowing a controlled amount of chlorine gas over a metal source, then reacted with controlled amounts of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gases, is shown: (9) + xC02(g) + xH2(g) MO (s) + xCO(g) + 2XHCl(g) Mc12x TX Appropriate growth parameters for the individual materials were determined , although optimum process variables for obtaining particular particle sizes were not established. Samples prepared did not have unusual radiation stability, but the capability of producing powders of extremely uniform particle size and of controlled composition was demonstrated. c TABLE OF CONTENTS Page No. 3.1 Alumina (A1203) Powder Preparation. ... 7 3.2 Alumina (A1203) Powder Characteristics. 8 3.3 Zirconia (Zr02) Powder Preparation.. .. 12 3 -4 Zirconia (Zr02) Powder Characteristics. 14 3 Silica (Si0 ) Powder Formation. 14 -5 2 ... ... .. 3.6 Silica (Si02) Powder Characteristics.. 18 3.7 Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Powder Preparation .... 20 3.8 Zinc Oxide (ZnO) Powder Characteristics 22 3 -9 Titanium Dioxide (Rutile, Ti02) Powder Formation.....................,......,. 27 3.10 Ti02 Characteristics................... 28 3.11 Zinc Titanate (ZnTiO ) Powder Formation 28 3 3.12 Zinc Titanate Characteristics.......... 34 4.0 CONCLUSIQNS................................. 36 5.0 ~FERENCES......................~.......~..~ 37 6.0 ACKNO~G~T.............................. 38 7 0 APPENDIX: Tabulated Powder Preparation Conditions Used in These Investigations ................... 39 LIST OF FIGURES Page No. Figure 1: Schema tic Diagram of Homogeneous Nucleation Apparatus .................. 4 Figure 2: Particle Size Distribution of Homo- geneously Nucleated Alumina Powder (A1203 - 1) ........................... 10 Figure 3: Photomicrograph of A1203 - 5 Powder Sample ................................ 11 Figure 4: Photomicrograph of (ZrO2) Powder Sample ................................. 15 Figure 5: X-ray Diffraction Pattern of Zr02 Powder Sample ......................... 16 Figure 6: Photomicrograph of Si02 Powder Sample. 19 Figure 7: Photomicrograph of ZnO Powder Sample.. 23 Figure 8: Photomicrograph of ZnO Whiskers....... 26 Figure 9: Photomicrograph of Ti02 Powder Sample. 29 Figure 10: Photomicrograph of Ti02 Fibers and Platelets............................. 30 Figure 11: Photomicrograph of ZnTi03 and Ti02 Powder Sample ......................... 32 Figure 12: X-Ray Diffraction Pattern of ZnTi03 and Ti02 Powder Sample ................ 33 c W -iv- .

Powders for this application should possess a low ratio of solar absorptance to infrared emittance and also exhibit high stability to electromagnetic radiation encountered in the space environment. The per- formance of a pigment may be affected by such variables as particle size, particle size distribution, purity and degree of crystal perfection. Thus, these factors have received particular attention. The formation of powders by homogeneous nucleation from vapor phase reactions offers several advantages over other methods of preparation. These include (a) control of impurity species and attainment of high purity levels, (b) control of particle size by blending for optimum concentrations relative to the light input spectrum and (c) low defect concentration since mechanical size reduction is not required and powders are formed isothermally. In the present study no attempt was made to prepare large quantities of pigment materials nor to attain particular levels of purity. The major goal was to determine the breadth of the techniques applicability to a variety of materials and to determine its advantages and disadvantages relative to other methods of powder preparation. -1- 2.0 TECHNICAL BASIS The technical basis for the method used lies in the experimental observation that in a flowing stream of reactant gases from which a solid oxide phase is precipitated, the morphology of the solid -formed (powder, bulk crystal, platelet or whiskerjis determined by temperature, supersaturation, gas composition, pressure and flow conditions 1-4 . For an overall reaction such as: it is believed that the actual gas phase reaction is of the general form: followed by condensation: Gas reaction equilibrium is achieved rapidly relative to con- densation and nucleation of the solid phase. Thus the gas phase reaction equilibrium constant is given by: 36 'CO 'HCl '02 'Al20 K= 32 P C023P H2 'AlC13 -2- For non-equilibrium condensation, the tendency for nucleation and condensation depends on the supersaturation ratio of the species involved in the condensation process: ( Po2 '~1~0)actual 36 -1 ['CO 'HCl =K ) equil. 32 ('02 'Al20 PC023P H2 'A1C13 Thus, by controlling the temperature, the total system pressure and the gas composition, (which determine K), the supersaturation can be controlled. For homogeneous nucleation a high value of the super- saturation ratio is required, but once this necessary level is achieved the nucleation process occurs rapidly5 . When nuclei are formed, they grow at a rate which is determined by the supersaturation ratio and by the kinetics of the specific surface reactions and deposition processes involved. The length of time that particles are allowed to grow, and thus their final size can be controlled by the reactant gas velocity which is determined by furnace dimensions, tempera- ture, pressure and flow rates. Detailed knowledge of the actual reaction mechanisms involved is not known, but the direction in which changing process variables affects results can be predicted and is the technical basis for an empirical study of the feasibility of applying the method to a number of systems. The vapor train and furnace assembly used for these oxide powder growth studies is shown schematically in Figure 1.

The flame retardant coatings reinforced with zirconia nanoparticles (ZrO2 NPs) were prepared at four different formulation levels marked by F0 (without adding ZrO2 NPs), F1 (1% w/w ZrO2 NPs), F2 (2% w/w ZrO2 NPs), and F3 (3% w/w ZrO2 NPs) in combination with epoxy resin, ammonium polyphosphate, boric acid, chitosan, and melamine. The prepared formulated coatings were characterized by flammability tests, combustion tests, and thermogravimetric analysis. Finally, char residues were examined with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The peak heat release rate (PHRR) of the controlled sample filled with functionalized ZrO2 NPs was observed to decrease dramatically with increasing functionalized ZrO2 NPs loadings. There was an increase in the limit of oxygen index (LOI) value with the increase in the weight percentage of ZrO2 NPs. The UL-94V data clearly revealed a V-1 rating for the F0 sample; however, with the addition of ZrO2 NPs, the samples showed enhanced properties with a V-0 rating. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) results revealed that addition of ZrO2 NPs Improved composite coating thermal stability at 800 ◦C by forming high residual char.

Zirconium dioxide (zirconia) ceramics are known by its high strength and toughness and titanium dioxide (titania) ceramics has outstanding surface properties. The ceramic composite formed between the two oxides are expected to have advantages of both ceramics, especially when its surface area is increased by pores. In this work, ceramic composites of ZrO2-Y2O3-TiO2 were synthesized by coprecipitation and rice starch was added as pore former in 10, 20 and 30 wt%. Powders were cold pressed as cylindrical pellets and sintered at 1500 °C for 01 hour and ceramics were characterized by techniques as Archimedes method for density measurements, X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. Results showed that pores are inhomogeneously distributed through ceramic bodies. Introduction Zirconia based ceramic materials are known by their chemical and thermal shock resistance and, when appropriately doped with additives as yttrium, cerium or other rare earth oxides, show outstanding mechanical and/or electrical properties.

Experimental spectra of ZrO3H2 and ZrO3D2 were obtained using slow photoelectron velocity-map imaging (cryo-SEVI), revealing the presence of two dissociative adduct conformers and yielding insight into the vibronic structure of the corresponding neutral species. Franck-Condon simulations for both the cis– and trans–dihydroxide structures are required to fully reproduce the experimental spectrum. Additionally, it was found that water-splitting is stabilized more by ZrO2 than TiO2, suggesting Zr-based catalysts are more reactive toward hydrolysis. I. INTRODUCTION Zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) is an extensively studied material with widespread applications in medicine,[1–3] gas-cleaning technology,[4] ceramics,[5–7] corrosion-resistant materials [8– 10], and heterogeneous catalysis [11]. As in the case of titania (TiO2), photosensitization of water on a ZrO2 electrode has inspired the development of ZrO2 based technologies to exploit its photocatalytic properties for solar–powered hydrogen fuel cells [12–16].

ZrO2 implant application can be a solution with many advantages (e.g., osseointegration, stability, and radio-opaqueness) and lacks the disadvantages of other biomaterials (e.g., metalosis, radiotransparency, and no osseointe- gration) or autologous bone (e.g., morbidity, resorption, and low accuracy). We aimed to evaluate the possibility of using ZrO2 implants as a new application of this material for craniofacial bone defect reconstruction. First, osteoblast (skeleton-related cell) cytotoxicity and genotoxicity were determined in vitro by comparing ZrO2 implants and alumina particle air-abraded ZrO2 implants to the follow- ing: 1. a titanium alloy (standard material); 2. ultrahigh-molecular-weight polyethylene (a modern material used in orbital surgery); 3. a negative control (minimally cytotoxic or genotoxic agent action); 4. a positive control (maximally cytotoxic or genotoxic agent action). Next, 14 custom in vivo clinical ZrO2 implants were manufactured for post-traumatologic periorbital region reconstruction.

Its crystal structure was analyzed using X-ray Powder Diffraction, and the atomic ratio between copper and zirconium was found performing a Rietveld analysis. An accurate analysis, also comparing this new compound with others present in the literature and which present a similar structure, enables us to characterize the new mixed oxide well. Scanning electron microscopy and thermogravimetric analyses were also performed in order to completely characterize this new material, which is interesting both from an academic point of view for its crystal structure and from an industrial one due to the formation of copper–zirconium-based shape memory alloys during thermal treatment.

The solid was characterized for surface area measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray diffractometry (EDX) and potentiometric titrations. Surface titrations were carried out at the temperature range 303 to 323K in the presence of different concentrations (0.1, 3 0.01 and 0.001mol/dm ) of NaNO3 as a background electrolyte. Surface charge density and point of zero charge (PZC) of ZrO2 were determined from the titration data. Salt addition method was also applied to measure the PZC of the solid. The surface charge densities of ZrO2 were observed to increase with increase in temperature but decrease while increasing the concentration of electrolyte. Further, the PZC was found to decrease with the rise in temperature. However, it was found to increase with increase in concentration of the background electrolyte. The thermodynamic parameters such as ∆H and ∆S were also determined from the slope and intercept of the linear plot of (pHpzc - ½ pKw) versus reciprocal temperature (1/T).

  • Phosphopeptide Enrichment Using Zirconium Dioxide and Titanium Dioxide
    Phosphopeptide Enrichment using Zirconium Dioxide and Titanium Dioxide Literature Review Technical Bulletin # 312 Zirconia Microtips Historically, researchers have been unable to fully realize the benefits of mass spectrometry as an analysis method for At the recent ASMS 2005 conference Kweon et al. report the phosphopeptides because isolation of the molecules from non- successful use of a zirconium dioxide microtip for the enrichment of phosphorylated peptides is frequently required before phosphopeptides (3). Phosphopeptides from proteolytic peptide examination of the complex samples can proceed (1). mixtures were selectively isolated and enriched by binding to Previously, immobilized metal affinity chromatography (IMAC) zirconia microtips. For this application, the zirconia was the most widely utilized technique for phosphopeptide phosphopeptide enrichment proved superior to titanium dioxide and enrichment by mass spectroscopy. IMAC methods can vary IMAC methods. widely in effectiveness depending on the type of metal ion and loading/elution procedure. The technique also uses valuable research time for the required metal ion loading and washing steps and is difficult to incorporate into an on-line application (6). As non-specific binding of non-phosphorylated peptides further hampers the technique, researchers using mass spectroscopy needed a more specific on-line technique for isolating the phosphopeptides in order to fully realize the time saving benefits of mass spectroscopy (1, 2). Recently, several papers and posters have been published demonstrating the unique ability of titanium dioxide and zirconium dioxide to selectively retain phosphopeptides contained in complex biological mixtures (1, 2).
