Summary

A homogeneous and stable, amorphous-type, anorthite (CaO·Al2O3·2SiO2) powder was synthesized by an organic-inorganic steric entrapment route. Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was used as an organic carrier for the precursor ceramic gel. The PVA content, its degree of polymerization and type of silica sol had a significant influence on the calcination and crystallization behavior of the precursors. For densification and crystallization at low temperature, porous and soft, amorphous anorthite powder was planetary milled for 20 h. The milled powder crystallized to stable anorthite phase and densified to a relative density of 94% below 1000 d̀C. The low-firing anorthite ceramics were characterized for examination of microstructure, thermal expansion behavior and dielectric constant.
