Synthesis and characterization of rutile TiO2 nanowhiskers
TLDR
In this paper, the molar ratio of sodium to titanium was 400 at 750 degrees C for 2 h with diameters of 10-50 nm and lengths of several micrometers.Abstract:
Rutile TiO2, nanowhiskers have been synthesized by annealing a precursor powder in which NaCl and Ti(OH), particles were homogeneously mixed. The precursor powder was prepared by mixing three kinds of inverse microemulsions (mu E) containing TiCl4, aqueous solution, ammonia, and NaCl aqueous solution, respectively, followed by washing with acetone. Annealing temperature and packing density of Ti(OH), in the precursor powder influenced the formation of rutile nanowhiskers. The optimum temperature was 750 degrees C. TiO2, nanowhiskers obtained by annealing a precursor powder in which the molar ratio of sodium to titanium was 400 at 750 degrees C for 2 h had diameters of 10-50 nm and lengths of several micrometers. They were straight rods with square cross sections, and the side surfaces were composed of four equivalent (110) planes.read more

Phase diagrams for ceramists
TL;DR: One of the popular books now is the phase diagrams for ceramists as discussed by the authors. You may be confused because you can't find the book in the book store around your city. And when you have found the store to buy the book, it will be so hurt when you run out of it.
