Aqueous sol-gel technique is reported for synthesizing nanosize, rod shaped lanthanum phosphate particles starting from lanthanum chloride, which is suitable for variety of applications such as machinable ceramics, thermal ...

The present investigation is related to synthesis of high surface area lanthanum phosphate by an aqueous sol-gel process involving post gelation treatment by solvent exchange resulting in a soft agglomerated gel. Precursor ...

Monazite type rare earth phosphates (REPs) are low thermal conducting (<5 W.m(-1).K-1) high temperature stable polycrystalline ceramics showing unique 'damage tolerant property' due to its layered structure and ductile ...
