Inorganic ZrO2 nanofibers

Zirconium dioxide nanofiberous powder is a novel kind of ceramic material produced by Kertak Nanotechnology´s patented technology. The production technology is based on a unique type of well-known electrospinning process. Electrospun products are comprised fully of ceramic basis of zirconium oxide with a minor amount of organic traces and impurities. Zirconium dioxide nanofiberous material is basically produced in monoclinic and tetragonal crystal phase modification, but the production setup can be simply modified to obtain other phases such as tetragonal or cubic zirconia. The properties and characteristics obtained by combinations of nanofiberous morphology and conventional properties of zirconia material predestine ZrO2 nanofiberous products for applications in many commercial products.
