It exhibits several advantageous thermal, thermo-mechanical, optical, chemical properties which renders it suitable for wide gamut applications starting from refractory to sensor to IR transmitting window. It has face centered cubic structure and has wide solubility to its end members at elevated temperatures. As a result of this solubility, non-stoichiometric compositions exist in the phase field of spinel in the phase diagram. Due to its unavailability in nature, MA spinels are synthetically prepared through different routes and using different starting materials. Among these, solid state reaction sintering or conventional mixed oxide (CMO) method is the most techno-economical viable process. However, the challenge lies with the preparation of dense MA spinel from its oxide precursors in a single stage process is the expansion due to spinellization. Several attempts have been made to overcome this deterring factor through improving the reactivity of the precursors, by controlling the processing parameters, or by using the mineralizers. In this paper crystal structure, stoichiometry in spinel composition, mechanism of spinel formation, different synthesis method, properties and applications are reviewed.

The studies revealed that for single step method the unreacted phases diminished with increase of firing temperature and only impure nickel niobate phase remained at 1200°C. Addition of 4 wt% excess lead oxide reduced the impure nickel niobate phase concentration from 8.9% to 4.2% for the single step method. Addition of 2 wt% excess lead oxide was found sufficient to remove pyrochlore nickel niobate phase for double step method. Temperature dependent XRD showed pure phase throughout the temperature range of 35 to 350 K indicating the stability of the phase formed. The Raman study also confirmed the formation of pure perovskite phase.

The results found were that the amount of zirconia added to the cement compositions did not significantly affect the mechanical properties’ values compared to the sample without zirconia. Nevertheless, ZrO2 helped to stabilize the demineralization of the types of cement in contact with artificial saliva at different times. On the other hand, the glass ionomer type I used to link the powder cement caused a change in the mechanical behavior, enhancing the plasticity in all the cement compositions. The in vitro test allowed an analysis of the cement samples dipping in artificial saliva, which showed a decrease of pH value from 7 to 3.8 at three days.

This study evaluates the incorporation of porcelain polishing residues as a raw material to produce lightweight porous ceramics as a new insulation material. Also, cellulose was used as the pore-making additive. The effect of sintering temperature and cellulose additive on the sintering behavior of porous ceramics, such as bulk density, linear shrinkage, water absorption were investigated. Flexural strength of the fired specimens was measured by three-point bending method. Thermal conductivities of the porous ceramics were predicted using laser flash method. Microstructural and phase observations were performed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffractometry. Relatively low thermal conductivity of the samples sintered at 1100°C was obtained at 0.097 W.m–1.K–1 when 2.5 wt% cellulose additive was added, with low bulk density (<1 g.cm–3), water absorption (0.7%) and flexural strength (3.09 Mpa). These results indicate that the porcelain polishing residues could be used for lightweight porous ceramics production, thus giving rise to a new possibility for an environmental management of this abundant waste.

X-ray diffraction analysis and differential scanning calorimetry results showed that the addition of silica delayed the formation of α-Al2O3, and the phase transformation path of alumina was changed from amorphous alumina → γ-Al2O3 → α-Al2O3 to amorphous alumina → γ-Al2O3 → θ-Al2O3 → α-Al2O3. Moreover, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy results confirmed that the addition of SiO2 reduced the grain size and was beneficial for the dense structure.

The obtained results illustrate that elastic moduli reduced with the addition of SrO concentrations in the lead borate glass. The highest values of Young’s (89.03 GPa), bulk (68.36 GPa), shear (4.69 GPa), and longitudinal (114.63 GPa) moduli have been detected in the SrPbB20 glass with 20 molar fraction of SrO and low density of 3.29 g.cm−3. The radiation shielding properties have also been studied for the discussed glasses. Among the shielding parameters, the transmission factor and the mean free path have been detected according to the linear attenuation coefficient values which have been simulated utilizing the Monte Carlo simulation code MCNP5. Successively, the exposure buildup factors and the energy absorption buildup factor have been predicted using the BXCOM programme to appreciate the photons accumulation inwards the studied glass material as well as the effective atomic number (Zeff ) and the equivalent atomic number (Zeq ). Finally, it has been concluded that the present synthetical glasses are preferred to be utilized in various radiation shielding applications.

However, the contamination due to CaSO4 originated from the PoP contact is a primary concern. Therefore, it demands the machining of several layers from the cast surface that results in post-green machining defects. To address this concern, a magnesium aluminate (MgAl2O4) spinel mould was fabricated with indigenously synthesized spinel powder with optimum porosity of 45-50% and flexural strength of ∼16 MPa. The fabricated spinel mould was used to demonstrate the casting using water-based spinel slurry. The cast spinel blanks were found contamination free as confirmed by Fourier transform infrared studies. Microstructures of spinel moulds revealed the interconnectivity of the pores obtained by field emission scanning electron microscopy. Specimens cast on spinel and on PoP moulds, after post machining, were sintered (1650°C) and hot isostatically pressed (at 1800°C and 1950 bar) under identical conditions. Casting on spinel moulds demonstrated a contamination free surface of the samples. Its properties are at par with the samples cast on PoP moulds, however, with improved casting rate and minimum rejection.

Nevertheless, the low mechanical properties limited the development and application of PTW thermal insulation materials. In this work, low density, high mechanical properties and high thermal insulation capacity of PTW thermal insulation materials can be obtained through mesocarbon microbeads (MCMB) adopted as pore-forming agent. The pyrolysis and oxidation of MCMB promoted the development of whiskers during the calcination process, rendering the increased materials porosity. The as-prepared PTW materials heat treated at 1000°C possessed low thermal conductivity of 0.043-0.035 W.m−1.K−1 from room temperature to 900°C and a low bulk density of 0.52 g.cm−3. Owing to the point of contact between whiskers with developed diameter and aspect ratio, comperssive strength of PTW materials heat treated at 900° and 1000°C was 1.92 and 2.51 MPa, respectively, maintaining high resilience rates of above 70% at 5% compressive strain. The elevated heat-treatment temperature (above 1100°C) led to the sintering between whiskers and the resultant enhanced compressive strength of higher than 4.23 MPa.
