Abstract

Bi2O3‒B2O3‒SiO2‒ZnO glass is an efficient sintering aid for ceramics, but there exist uncertainties about its origin and sintering mechanism. In this paper, the 20BBSZ glass containing 20 mol% Bi2O3was designed to improve the sintering and dielectric properties of Al2O3ceramics by adjusting B2O3/SiO2ratio (r). The crystallization and sintering behavior of 20BBSZ glass and its glass network structure were studied by combining with thermal analysis and infrared spectroscopy. The effect of B2O3/SiO2ratio on the microstructure, sintering behavior and dielectric properties of the 20BBSZ/Al2O3composites were investigated. The factors affecting the dielectric properties are discussed. The following conclusions are obtained: (1) Sintering density affects dielectric properties obviously; (2) Formation of ZnAl2O4and Al5BO9hindered the densification of ceramics; (3) The 20BBSZ/Al2O3composite sintered at 1000 °C for 2 h has the excellent dielectric properties atr= 1/3 due to high density,εr= 5.64, tanδ = 1 × 10–3at 500 MHz, and CET = 7.02 ppm °C−1.Graphical abstract
