Abstract:

Nanocrystalline zirconia with high surface area and pure tetragonal crystalline phase was prepared using ethylene diamine (EDA), which acts as both precipitating agent and dispersant of the zirconium precursor. The yttria stabilized zirconia (Y-TZP) is a very attractive material due to its excellent biocompatibility, high fracture toughness, high strength and low wear rates. So zirconyl chloride octahydrate (ZrOCl2 · 8H2O) and yttrium chloride hexahydrate (YCl3 · 6H2O) in different molar ratios were used as starting solution. The detailed effects of various process parameters such as reaction time, concentration of the precursor solution, amount of ethylene diamine, and calcination temperature on the structural properties of the zirconia powders were investigated. The preparation conditions significantly affected the structural stability, crystal size, and crystal phase of the final material. Increases in the reaction time and amount of ethylene diamine led to a substantial increase of the crystal growth rate, the specific surface area, and the tetragonal content of the zirconia.
