Latest Research on the Development of High-Quality Aluminum-Oxide Ceramics (Review). Part 2. Synthesis and Sintering of Nanopowders, Sol-Gel and Other Methods of Producing Finely Disperse and Fibrous Aluminum Oxide

Abstract

Russian dissertations on aluminum oxide ceramic and methods of producing it covering the period from 2000 to present are reviewed. Attention is focused primarily on fine structural ceramic. Part 2 of this review includes synthesis of nanopowders of aluminum oxide and their use for sintering, the sol-gel method of producing Al₂O₃, and other methods of synthesizing finely disperse and fibrous Al₂O₃ for corundum ceramic.
