Abstract
In this study, novel porous LaPO4 ceramics possessing closed spherical pores and thin pore walls have been firstly synthesized using the particle-stabilized foaming method. Affected by the calcination temperature together with solid loading, the obtained porous LaPO4 ceramics exhibit high porosity (81.69–94.21 %), very low thermal conductivity (κ) (0.124–0.398 W m−1 K−1) and relatively high compressive strength (0.886–9.30 MPa). When the calcination temperature and solid loading are 1500 °C and 35 wt%, optimized porous LaPO4 ceramics achieve a better balance between thermal conductivity (0.160 W m−1 K−1) and compressive strength (2.07 MPa). Based on this, the prediction model for the thermal conductivity is screened and the thermal insulating capability is further verified. This work suggests that porous LaPO4 ceramics have the potential to be applied as thermal insulation material in the future.
期刊介绍:
Ceramics International covers the science of advanced ceramic materials. The journal encourages contributions that demonstrate how an understanding of the basic chemical and physical phenomena may direct materials design and stimulate ideas for new or improved processing techniques, in order to obtain materials with desired structural features and properties.
Ceramics International covers oxide and non-oxide ceramics, functional glasses, glass ceramics, amorphous inorganic non-metallic materials (and their combinations with metal and organic materials), in the form of particulates, dense or porous bodies, thin/thick films and laminated, graded and composite structures. Process related topics such as ceramic-ceramic joints or joining ceramics with dissimilar materials, as well as surface finishing and conditioning are also covered. Besides traditional processing techniques, manufacturing routes of interest include innovative procedures benefiting from externally applied stresses, electromagnetic fields and energetic beams, as well as top-down and self-assembly nanotechnology approaches. In addition, the journal welcomes submissions on bio-inspired and bio-enabled materials designs, experimentally validated multi scale modelling and simulation for materials design, and the use of the most advanced chemical and physical characterization techniques of structure, properties and behaviour.
Technologically relevant low-dimensional systems are a particular focus of Ceramics International. These include 0, 1 and 2-D nanomaterials (also covering CNTs, graphene and related materials, and diamond-like carbons), their nanocomposites, as well as nano-hybrids and hierarchical multifunctional nanostructures that might integrate molecular, biological and electronic components.
