Tough to brittle transition with increasing grain size in 3Yb-TZP ceramics manufactured from stabilizer coated nanopowder

Tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (TZP) are ceramics combining high strength and fracture resistance which are applied in biomedical and engineering applications. In this study, a nanoscale monoclinic zirconia nanopowder was coated with 3 mol-% ytterbia via a wet chemical route. The powders obtained...
