Abstract:
This study focuses on investigating the potential of modified ceramic technology methods for producing composition materials with nano-level heterogeneity, approximating the properties of functional ceramics (FC) obtained through helio-technology. Three different powder synthesis methods were utilized: oxide method, ceramic technology, and sol-gel technology. X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy analyses were employed to compare the microstructure of powders obtained by these methods with samples synthesized using helio-technology. The results revealed that powders obtained through modified ceramic technology methods exhibited a more homogeneous structure and smaller particle size compared to those obtained through helio-technology. Nano-sized, metastable, and amorphous phases formed at the boundaries of such powders are considered responsible for the generation of pulsed infrared radiation. These findings have significant practical implications in various fields that require composition materials with controlled properties and the ability to generate pulsed infrared radiation.
