Synthesis, Characterization and Properties Evaluation of ZrO2 and Its Composites – A Review

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to study zirconia and its composites. Various techniques to synthesize zirconia films and its composites have been discussed in detail. Literatures have been studied extensively covering over 35 years of investigation on various doping materials, effect of physical and chemical parameters on synthesis of zirconia, its composites and various mixed metal oxides. This is very important from a research point of view, as the selection of metal oxides should be a strong evidence to support the electrical, chemical, mechanical and optical applications. The search for the ideal zirconia based metal oxide that has good performance and longevity will continue.
