Abstract

The NZP family of new low-expansion materials has attracted wide interest for its potential in advanced technological applications. NaZr{sub 2}P{sub 3}O{sub 12}, which is the parent composition of this family, has been synthesized by the solution sol-gel method using special precursor solutions, which led to its formation (although poorly crystalline) at temperatures as low as 120{degrees}C. The lowest temperature of formation of a single phase of NaZr{sub 2}P{sub 3}O{sub 12} with a high degree of crystallinity was found to be 600{degrees}C.
