Popis: TiO2 ceramic was sintered by two types of processes: a conventional isothermal sintering and a two step sintering. A full densification without notable grain growth was achieved when the specimen was first heated to a higher temperature (T1=1300°C) and then cooled immediately for a long treatment at a lower temperature (T2=1000°C). Nanostructured TiO2 ceramics with a grain size of 110 nm and relative density 97% has been prepared using a two step sintering procedure. The results show that it is possibe to prepare dense and fine size grain nanostructured titania ceramics under an optimum sintering condition. The two step sintering method can successfully suppress the accelerated grain growth that usually occurs during the final sintering stage and make it possible to apply titania ceremics as structure materials and tissue engineering materials.
