zilight® ultra-small nanozirconia doped grades

1 of 2 products in this brand
Zilight® Ultra-Small Nanozirconia Doped Grades offers yttria-stabilized zirconia nanoparticles dispersed in various media for use in a wide range of applications. zilight® ultra-small nanozirconia doped grades can be used as starting materials, or sintering additives, for the fabrication of ceramics and ceramic nanocomposites used in structural, biomedical, dental applications and more. They can as well be used to produce nanostructured inorganic coatings. They also find applications as nanofillers in composite materials, for instance dental composites and nanocoatings, and in 3D-printing feedstocks.
