The miniaturisation of electronic components required for many devices involves an increase their volumic efficiency. This work focus on the size reduction of capacitors. They are two ways for increasing the capacity of such passive components. One is to find materials with high permittivity, the other is to reduce the thickness of the films used in multilayers ceramics. Barium titanate, BaTiO3 (BT) nanoparticles were sintered using Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) because the material presents interesting properties when obtained by SPS [1–3]. In this case, very unusual interesting dielectric properties, a so called “colossal” permittivity value up to several thousands. Moreover, no temperature dependence is observed. However, the values of dielectric losses are too high to consider industrial applications. In order to reduce these dielectric losses, different approaches have been proposed to control the chemistry of grain boundaries. We present here the structural, microstructural and electrical properties of ceramics sintered by SPS from BaTiO3 powders elaborated by co-precipitation method. Different routes tested to improve the dielectric properties of the ceramics are presented and discussed. On the other side, thick films of BT have been prepared. The objective of this work was to develop a BaTiO3 material having an accurate particle size to reduce the thickness of sintered films down to 1 μm. The rheological properties of the slurry have been optimized and, thanks to a suitable tape casting process, homogeneous thin films of 1 μm thickness could be obtained. Some properties of the films are described.

A pure ferrite and epoxy samples as well as the epoxy/ferrite composites with different 20 wt.%, 30 wt.%, 40 wt.%, and 50 wt.% weight ferrite contents have been prepared by the chemical co-precipitation method. AC-conductivity and dielectric properties such as the dielectric constant and dielectric loss of the prepared samples have been studied. The obtained results showed that the samples had a semiconductor behavior. The dielectric constant of the composites has been calculated theoretically using several models. For the composite sample that contains 20 wt.% of ferrites, these models give satisfactory compliance, while for the composite samples with a higher percentage of nanofillers, more than 30 wt.% theoretical results do not coincide with experimental data. The investigated polymer has very low conductivity, so this type of polymer can be useful for high-frequency applications, which can reduce the losses caused by eddy current. Thus, the prepared samples are promising materials for practical use as elements of microwave devices.

CaCO3 has six polymorphs such as vaterite, aragonite, calcite, amorphous, crystalline monohydrate, and hexahydrate CaCO3. CaCO3 is a typical biomineral that is abundant in both organisms and nature and has important industrial applications. Cellulose could be used as feedstocks for producing biofuels, bio-based chemicals, and high value-added bio-based materials. In the past, more attentions have been paid to the synthesis and applications of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites due to its relating properties such as mechanical strength, biocompatibility, and biodegradation, and bioactivity, and potential applications including biomedical, antibacterial, and water pretreatment fields as functional materials. A variety of synthesis methods such as the hydrothermal/solvothermal method, biomimetic mineralization method, microwave-assisted method, (co-) precipitation method, and sonochemistry method, were employed to the preparation of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites. In this chapter, the recent development of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites has been reviewed. The synthesis, characterization, and biomedical applications of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites are summarized. The future developments of CaCO3 and cellulose/CaCO3 nanocomposites are also suggested.

A hexaaluminate support was prepared by a co-precipitation method, and a metal (Cu, Pt, or Ir) was impregnated on the support to prepare a powdered catalyst. After that, organic and inorganic binders were added to the powdery catalyst and then pellets were formed. The so-formed catalysts were heat-treated at 1200°C, and their physicochemical properties were analyzed by N2-adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray fluorenscence (XRF), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The decomposition activity of the catalysts on an ammonium dinitramide (ADN)-based liquid propellant was evaluated repeatedly, and the effects of catalyst composition and morphology on low temperature decomposition activity and durability were investigated. It was confirmed that the Cu-hexa-pellet, Pt-hexa-pellet, and Ir-hexa-pellet catalysts could be recovered and reused as a catalyst for decomposition of an ADN-based liquid monopropellant. The initial activity and the thermal stability of the Cu-hexa-pellet catalyst for the decomposition of ADN-based liquid monopropellants were better than for the other catalysts. The better activity of the Cu-hexa-pellet catalyst seems to be because the dispersion of the copper was higher than the metal dispersion in the other two catalysts.

Abstract: In this work, samples of zinc oxide nanoparticles doped by molybdenum (Zn1-xMoxO with 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.1) were prepared by using the wet co-precipitation method. The characterization of the prepared samples was carried out by means of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD). The samples reserved their hexagonal wurtzite structure with Mo doping and showed a decrease in the crystallite size up to x = 0.04 followed by a further increase. On the other hand, dielectric measurements were performed using an LCR meter. The effect of frequency and temperature on the dielectric properties such as the real and imaginary parts of dielectric constant (ε^' and ε'', respectively), dielectric loss (tanδ) and ac-conductivity (σ_ac) of Mo-doped zinc oxide samples, was studied in the frequency range (100 Hz - 1 MHz) and at temperatures (300 - 773 K). The values of room temperature dielectric parameters were found to be strongly dependent on the Mo-doping. However, the increase in temperature caused an enhancement in the values of the dielectric parameters, particularly at 773 K. Keywords: Zinc oxide, XRD, Dielectric constants, Ac-conductivity.

Complex rare-earth zirconates (Gd0.4Sm0.5Yb0.1)2(Zr1-xCex)2O7 (x=0, 0.3, 0.4) powders were synthesized by co-precipitation method. XRD and SEM results revealed that the complex rare-earth zirconates with single pyrochlore structure were prepared and no other phases existed among the grains. The dielectric properties of these compounds were investigated at low and microwave frequencies. It was found that they have intermediate dielectric constants and low dielectric loss in the whole frequency region, and they show the dielectric permittivity with weak frequency dependence. Substituting Zr4+ by Ce4+ leaded to smaller permittivity. Meanwhile, the dielectric contant values increase with increasing in the r(A3+)/r(B4+) value in the pyrochlore-type phase region, which can be explained by the increase in the degree of ordering of oxygen vacancy. This new series of pyrochlore type oxides would be potential candidates for electronic ceramic applications and microwave frequency components.
