UV/V is transmittance spectrum of aqueous dispersion of Fe2O3 nanoparticles |
MCP™ zirconia nanopowders, together with specific proprietary additives, enable the manufacture of high strength zirconia components that can be sintered to full density at temperatures as low as 1100oC (as compared with the 1600-1700oC normally required). Advanced Nano’s nanoceramics have the potential to dramatically reduce processing costs.
