Tóm tắt

Nanocrystalline calcium aluminate (CaAl2O4and Ca3Al2O6) powders have been prepared by pyrolysis of complex compound of aluminium and calcium with triethanolamine (TEA). The soluble metal ion-TEA complex forms the precursor material on complete dehydration of the mixtures of the complex of calcium-TEA and aluminium-TEA. The single-phase CaAl2O4and Ca3Al2O6powders have resulted after heat treatment at 800° and 1000°C, respectively. The precursors and the heat-treated final powders have been characterized by X-ray diffractometry (XRD), differential thermal and thermogravimetric analysis TG/DTA, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The average particle sizes as measured by transmission electron microscopy studies are around 30–40 nm and 25–30 nm for CaAl2O4and Ca3Al2O6powders, respectively. These nano-sized powders are very suitable for making various nano-composites with polymers and inorganic compounds.
