Abstract

AbstractUniformly dispersed nano‐sized aluminum nitride powders were prepared by the sol–gel foaming method using aluminum nitrate as the aluminum source, sucrose as the carbon source, and ammonium chloride as the foaming agent. The effects of ammonium chloride content on the particle size and the sintering properties of aluminum nitride were investigated. The results showed that when the molar ratio of ammonium chloride to aluminum nitrate was .5, the colloidal foams were uniform, large, and fluffy, and amorphous alumina precursors with uniform particles could be prepared. Aluminum nitride powder with a particle size of 22–27 nm can be obtained by calcining these precursors in nitrogen atmosphere at 1400°C for 2 h. At the same time, aluminum nitride bulk material with a relative density of 95% can be obtained by sintering the compact samples in nitrogen atmosphere at 1700°C for 2 h.
