AlN PIM: Sintering 500 °C 800 °C 1100 °C µ-AlN 500 °C 1100 °C 1300 °C 1500 °C µ-n AlN • Nanorod formation was observed at 1100 °C for monomodal µ-AlN • Liquid phase formation was observed at 1500 °C • n-Y2O3 and n-AlN lead to liquid phase formation at lower temperatures (100 °C lower than prior reports) Valmika Nathan
AlN PIM: Sintering (c) 1650 °C • Higher initial solids loading lead to lower shrinkage for bimodal sample (14±1%) than the conventional monomodal ones (>20%) Valmika Nathan Ceramics International 2012
