    摘要: The present invention provides a granule and green compact suited for obtaining a high-translucency and high-strength zirconia sintered body, and a high-density and uniform pre-sintered body. The invention also provides methods of production of such a granule and green compact. The present invention relates to a granule comprising zirconia, a stabilizing agent capable of preventing a phase transformation of zirconia, and a binder,



    the granule having a compression ratio R of 0.46 to 0.53 as calculated by the formula (1) below when tapped and filled into a columnar die in compliance with JIS R 1628:1997, and compressed by uniaxial pressing at a rate of 1 mm/s to 33 MPa,






    R=(H−D)/H  (1)

    wherein H represents a height of the granule tapped and filled into the columnar die before applying pressure, and D represents an amount of strain up to 33 MPa.

    摘要: Embodiments relate to methods of metal oxide nanocrystals preparation. In embodiments, a metal-organic precursor may be economically synthesized by reacting a metal with an organic acid. The organic acid may include an aliphatic chain longer than three carbon atoms. The metal may be In, Sn, Al, Ga, Zn, Cd, Sb, Bi, Ge, Mn, Ti, Nb, V, Cr, Mo, Fe, Y, Mg, Co, as well as mixtures thereof. Further processing of the metal-organic precursor (e.g. by pyrolysis, hydrolysis, or alcoholysis) produces metal oxide nanocrystals of desired characteristics. An metal-organic precursor of indium tin oxide (ITO) may be synthesized by reacting indium metal and tin metal with an organic acid having an aliphatic chain longer than three carbon atoms (e.g. stearic acid) at a temperature above 200° C. Further processing of the resulting metal-organic precursor yields ITO nanocrystals of regular shape, uniform size, and average diameter ranging of between about 1-500 nm.
