The Peculiarities of Structure Formation and Properties of Zirconia-Based Nanocomposites with Addition of AlO and NiO.

The present study is devoted to the problem of enhancing fracture toughness of ZrO ceramic materials through the formation of composite structure by addition of AlO and NiO particles. In this paper, we analyzed the general and distinguished features of microstructure of both composite materials and its effect on fracture toughness of materials. In this paper, we used the XRD, SEM, and EDS methods for determination of granulometric, phase, and chemical composition of sintered materials.
