Crystal phases, microstructure and density of ceramics were examined to characterize novel composites in the system of Al2O3 and La2O3. After heat treatment at 1300°C and 1400°C, LaAl11O18 plate-like crystals were formed through the solid-state reaction of LaAlO3 with Al2O3. The addition of large amounts of La contributed to the increase of LaAl11O18 plate-like crystals and their cross-linking microstructure. The porous alumina composites maintained high surface areas of 20 m2/g after heating at 1300°C, and 11 m2/g at 1400°C. The bending strength of La added alumina composite was 57 MPa after heating at 1400°C., application/pdf}, pages = {499--502}, title = {Preparation and properties of porous lanthanum doped alumina ceramic composites with self-organization}, volume = {117}, year = {2009} }
