INTRODUCTION OF NANOMATERIALS AND NANOTECHNOLOGIES IN CERAMICS PLANTS

Introduction of nanomaterials and nanotechnologies in ceramics plants has particular objective and subjective characteristics. It is expedient to begin assimilation of nanotechnologies with the use of nanopowder additives to existing ceramic pastes, especially in the form of modifying additives. Another promising method is to manufacture nanoceramics from powders of unstable solid phases in which the particle size is much larger than nanosized and nanostructures are created during heat treatment when they decompose. All stages of ceramics technology change very little here. Making nanoceramics from nanopowders is the most complicated due to the important change in the parameters of the technology. Use of negative and positive templates is promising for nanocomposites.
