    Yttria nettings by replica processing
    2014 - SANTOS, S.C.; YAMAGATA, C.; ACCHAR, W.; MELLO-CASTANHO, S.R.H.
    In the context of green economy supported and widespread by United Nations (UN), the renewable energy sources are the unique mechanism to universalize the access to energy. Face to this strategic direction of change is essential to develop efficient components for saving energy such as porous ceramics that associate light with mechanical strength. Thus, the objective of this work concerns to improve the homogeneity of porous size distribution of yttria porous ceramics by evaluating their morphology during replica processing. Samples were subject to immersion into 30vol% yttria aqueous suspensions during an interval from 1min to 120min and sintered through careful thermal conditions. Based on the results, the weight and morphology of porous structure samples were directly influenced by immersion time, whereby intervals from 30-120min showed the best final products.

    Synthesis characterization and sintering of cobalt-doped lanthanum chromite powders for use in SOFCs
    2010 - YAMAGATA, CHIEKO; MELLO-CASTANHO, SONIA R.H.
    Doped lanthanum chromite is a promising as interconnect material because of its good conductivity at high temperatures and its stability in oxidizing and reducing atmospheres. Perovskite oxide powders of Co-doped lanthanum chromite were synthesized by dispersing precursor metal salt solutions in a polymer matrix followed by a thermal treatment. XRD patterns showed that a highly crystalline cobalt-doped lanthanum chromite was obtained. Fine perovskite powder with a surface area of 6.15 m2 g -1 calcined at 700oC for 1 h, were obtained. After the sample sintered at 1450oC for 3h, the powder reached high densities exceeding 97% of the theoretical density. The proposed here has proved to be a very promising technique for the synthesis of lanthanum chromite powders.

    Rheological study of yttrium oxide aqueous suspensions
    2010 - SANTOS, S.C.; SETZ, L.F.G.; YAMAGATA, C.; MELLO-CASTANHO, S.R.H.
    Yttria (Y2O3) has been used in many technological applications areas as luminescence material, high temperature and strength structural material, owing to its excellent optical and refractory characteristics. Applying conformation techniques using Y2O3 concentrated suspensions is adequated, if it is well controlled, so that assisting to obtain homogeneous ceramic bodies, reproductive and with complex geometry. Studies involving superficial behavior, stability conditions of suspensions and the behavior related to conformation give important information to control the processes in manufacturing ceramic components. In this work is presented a rheological study of Y2O3 aqueous suspensions, which concerns to solids and dispersant concentration and pH of media. Preparation of Y2O3 aqueous suspensions with solids concentration of 30vol% was possible, using 1wt% of ammonium polyacrylate (PAA) that was enough to gain the lowest viscosity of the suspensions.
