Properties of Zirconia and Common Preparation Methods
What’s zirconia? Zirconium dioxide, which has the chemical formula ZrO2, forms the primary oxide. Normal conditions make it a clear, tasteless, smellless, and colorless crystal. It’s insoluble in water and hydrochloric acids. Chemical properties of this crystal are inactive. This material is incredibly resistant to high temperatures, has high melting point and high thermal expansion. […]
