The hexagonal cordierite was synthesized by the reverse coprecipitation-calcination method and characterized by powder X-ray diffraction. The lattice thermal expansion behavior of hexagonal cordierite was investigated by high temperature X-ray diffraction in the temperature range 298-1273 K. The lattice parameters of the hexagonal cordierite at different temperature were calculated by a least squares method. The hexagonal cordierite expressed anisotropic thermal expansion behavior with the average lattice thermal expansion coefficient were 2.13×10-6 K-1 along a or b axis and-1.03×10-6 K-1 along c axis from room temperature to 1273 K. The crystal structure of hexagonal cordierite at 298 K and 1273 K were refined by Rietveld method. The thermal expansion coefficient of the height of the [MgO6]-[AlO4] polyhedral layer is-1.8×10-6 K-1. Although the six-member ring expressed the normal positive thermal expansion along arbitrary direction, the height thermal expansion coefficient of the six-member ring is just 0.6×10-6 K-1.

Abstract In the field of low temperature co-fired ceramic (LTCC), it remains a challenge to design the performance of LTCC with low permittivity less than 5. Here, the K2O– B2O3–SiO2–Al2O3 composites are prepared without the preparation of prior glass. Meanwhile, the factors of the CaO content on microstructure, phase structure and properties of the composites are considered systematically. The crystal structure measured by X-ray diffraction (XRD) shows that there are quartz and alumina as the crystal phases. The results reveals that the tailoring CaO content benefits sintering densification, low dielectric loss, great mechanical properties and low thermal expansion coefficient. As CaO content increases up to 2.8 wt%, the composites sintered at 850∘C have a dielectric constant of 4.94 and tanδ of 8 × 10−4 at 1 MHz, thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of 8.5 ppm/∘C, and flexural strength of 150 MPa. As the mass fraction of CaO increases up to 3.2 wt%, the maximum flexural strength of 173MPa is achieved. The above study provides an effective approach for preparing the novel composites as a promising candidate for LTCC applications.

High-temperature dilatometric studies on (Pb1−xCax)TiO3 (x = 0.35, 0.35, 0.40, 0.45) ferroelectric ceramics reveal negative thermal expansion for x ≤ 0.40. The negative thermal expansion coefficient for x = 0.30, as obtained by dilatometry and powder x-ray diffraction, were found to be −8.541 × 10−6 K−1 and −11 × 10−6 K−1, respectively, which are comparable to those of other well-known negative thermal expansion materials like ZrW2O8, NaZr2(PO4)3. Results of temperature-dependent x-ray diffraction studies are also presented to show that the large negative thermal expansion behavior for x = 0.30 persists in a very wide range of temperatures, 70–570 K. Ca2+ substitution reduces the value of the negative thermal expansion coefficient of pure PbTiO3 crystal, but it enables the preparation of strong sintered ceramic bodies. The negative thermal expansion behavior is shown to disappear above the ferroelectric Curie point and is restricted to only the tetragonal compositions of (Pb1−xCax)TiO3.

A composite prepared between lead titanate (PT) and lead iron niobate (PFN) exhibits low thermal expansion coefficient (α) over the temperature range 300–673K. X-ray, DTA, and dilatometric measurements have been used to identify the optimum sintering condition, retaining the individual constituent identity, to achieve overall low bulk thermal expansion. The composite, PFN0.35PT0.65sintered at 1223K for 15 min. and at 1253K for 60 min. are sufficiently dense and show an overall α of –0.3 × 10–6/K and –1.2 × 10–6/K, respectively, in the temperature range 300–673K.

The thermal expansion coefficient of Bi-based 2223 and 2212 ceramics has been measured using dilatometric apparatus. Different typologies of bulk superconducting samples have been tested, in particular (2223) phase fully dense hot-pressed samples both parallel and perpendicular to the direction of applied pressure, pressureless sintered samples, and finally hot-pressed (2212) phase specimen, in order to gather information on the contribution of secondary phase to thermal expansion behavior. From the observed α (thermal expansion coefficient) values, accounting for the sample orientation degree, it was possible to distinguish the contributions along the basic crystallographic directions and to determine the following for (2223) phase: αa = 12.2 × 10-6 °C-1, and αc = 20.8 × 10-6 °C-1 for temperatures 200–600 °C. Theoretical α values were then calculated for the different samples and successfully compared with the measured ones. As regards (2212) phase, thermal expansion coefficient was evaluated for the oriented sample, and a value for random one extrapolated; the results are very similar to that of (2223), but lower with respect to previously reported data in air atmosphere.

The glass-ceramics of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 system were prepared by sintering technology. The crystallization process of MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 glass-ceramics was investigated with X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and other techniques; the discussion of breaking strength, thermal expansion coefficient and relevant properties at different sintering temperatures was also presented. The results show that: (1) The main crystalline phase isα-cordierite at different sintering temperatures, and the samples show high flexural strength and low thermal expansion coefficient; (2) with the increase of sintering temperature, the content of crystal phase increases, while the thermal expansion coefficient decreases evidently, the flexural strength and tightness density rise up first, then go down.

The low-thermal expansion coefficient (CTE) of cement paste and concrete are designed and prepared with fly ash in this study. The thermal expansion property and pore structure of cement/concrete are tested by Thermal Dilatometer, MIP, and SEM. The test results show that the addition of fly ash lowers the thermal expansion rate and coefficient of hardened paste. The increase of addition level is accompanied by the decrease of the thermal expansion coefficient. The introduction of fly ash could improve the pore structure of concrete, thus improve the thermal expansion property of cement concrete.
