Zirconium Oxide Milled Nanofibres Description
Milled nanofibres from zirconium oxide are ultrafine fibres composed of zirconium oxide, also known as zirconium oxide or zirconium dioxide. Zirconium oxide is a ceramic material with high stability that exhibits specific mechanical, thermal and chemical properties.
The product is produced using the high‐tech colloidal method to prepare a thickened zirconium dioxide colloid. The colloid is spun into a fibre embryo, which is then dehydrated, dried and crystallised by heat treatment at intermediate and high temperatures, thereby converting the material into a polycrystalline zirconium dioxide fibre.
Milled zirconium oxide nanofibres have a nanoscale size and a large surface area relative to their volume. They exhibit increased mechanical strength, enhanced electrical conductivity and a higher degree of chemical reactivity compared with conventional zirconium oxide materials. Given the high melting point, resistance to oxidation and other high-temperature characteristics of ZrO2, these fibres perform better than other fire‐resistant fibres such as aluminium oxide fibres and molaid fibres.
