The thermal expansion of a ceramic material in general leads to a positive thermal expansion coefficient (α). In the last decennium, several families of materials which exhibit negative thermal expansion, arising from a specific geometrical effect in their so-called open framework structures, have been discovered. Usually, this negative thermal expansion coefficient is small, anisotropic and the phenomena occur in a very small temperature interval. ZrW2O8 is an exception because of its large and isotropic negative thermal expansion coefficient (NTE) in a temperature range from 0.5K to 1050K. A cubic symmetry is found over the entire stability range with a phase transition from α-ZrW2O8 to β-ZrW2O8 near 430K. This phase transition is noticed by a change in α. The aqueous citrate-gel method is a suitable synthesis route for negative thermal expansion ceramics and will give a fine, pure and homogenous oxide mixture, well suitable for the preparation of ZrW2O8. The expansion coefficient of α–ZrW2O8 is -11 μm/m K whereas for the β- ZrW2O8 a value of -3 is obtained.

In this paper, negative thermal expansion coefficient eucryptite powders were prepared by sol-gel method using silica-sol as starting material. The raw blocks were obtained by dry pressing process after the powder was synthesized, and then the raw blocks were heat-treated at 600º, 1150º, 1280º, 1380º, 1420º and 1450°C, respectively. Variations of density, porosity and thermal expansion coefficient at different heat treatment temperatures were investigated. Phase transformation and fracture surface morphology of eucryptite heat-treated at different temperatures, respectively, were observed by XRD and SEM. The results indicate that, with the increasing heat- treatment temperature, the grain size and the bending strength increased, porosity decreased, thermal expansion coefficient decreased continuously. Negative thermal expansion coefficient of -5.3162×10-6~-7.4413×10-6 (0~800°C) was obtained. But when the heat-treatment temperature was more than 1420°C, porosity began to increase, bending strength began to decrease, which were the symbols of over-burning, while the main crystal phase didn’t change.
