Аннотация:Ceramic-forming zirconium (hafnium)-containing yttriumoxane alumoxanes, precursors of multicomponent ceramics based on alumina, yttria and zirconia/hafnia, were synthesized by co-condensation of chelated alkoxyalumoxanes, yttrium acetylacetonate hydrate (or organic yttriumoxane alumoxanes) and zirconium or hafnium acetylacetonate. The physicochemical properties of zirconium (hafnium)-containing yttriumoxane alumoxanes were studied. Computational models of the group and elemental composition of oligomeric Zr(Hf)-containing yttriumoxane alumoxane molecules were proposed. According to X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy data, pyrolysis of the oligomers at 1500–1600°C results in multicomponent nano- or fine-crystalline ceramic powders, depending on the Al/Y and Al/Zr(Hf) molar ratios.
