| Abstract: | The acrylamide sol-gel processes becomes a fast, cheap, reproducible and easy to scale-up chemical way for obtaining nanopowders of BaZrO3, which can be used for crucible sintering or many electronic applications. This synthesis method allows performing 100 g of high purity nanosized particles, in one run, with simple laboratory equipment and using low cost raw materials. Temperature synthesis and atmosphere conditions are studied for obtaining best powders. They are sintered at 1450°C to full density, then at much lower temperature than previously reported, making possible the crucible fabrication of BaZrO3 for many laboratories. |
