What is it about?

This publication reported the effort to investigate the shrinkage behaviour of zinc-doped MgTiO3 dielectric ceramics (Mg1-xZnxTiO3, for x = 0 - 0.5) and the effect to the density, the structure, the microstrucuture and the dielectric constant of the systems. The addition of 2 wt. % V2O5 as a liquid agent to the Mg0.7Zn0.3TiO3 ceramic system to reduce the sintering temperature and hence to increase the ceramic density was also discussed.

Why is it important?

Study the dilatometric shrinkage of a ceramic is an important step in a ceramic fabrication as this step can assist an experimenter to determine the appropriate and the best choice of sintering temperature.

Perspectives

This publication gives a good knowledge to academic and relevance audience on what is the steps on ceramic fabrication. Most of publications on dielectric ceramics only discussed on the electric and dieletric properties of the intended ceramic and the relation to the structure and microstructure. Discussion on how the dilatometric shrinkage of ceramic system, however, is seldom.
