Synthesis and characterization of nanocrystalline aluminum nitride from a low temperature combustion precursor

The synthesis of AlN nanocrystalline powders using a new carbothermal reduction process with a low temperature combustion precursor containing homogeneous alumina and carbon is presented. The prepared AlN powders have an average particle size of 50-80 nm and are spherical in shape. Nanocrystalline A...

Description
Summary:The synthesis of AlN nanocrystalline powders using a new carbothermal reduction process with a low temperature combustion precursor containing homogeneous alumina and carbon is presented. The prepared AlN powders have an average particle size of 50-80 nm and are spherical in shape. Nanocrystalline AlN specimens can achieve 98.5% of theoretical density by pressureless sintering without sintering aids. 8 refs.
