Abstract

Data on the thermophysical properties of NZP ceramics with the NaZr2(PO4)3-type structure are summarized. A system of thermal expansion regularities is proposed making it possible to predict NZP materials with controllable thermal expansion, including ultralow expansion with near-zero anisotropy. The thermodynamic functions of the reactions of synthesis of NZP phosphates are calculated and the applicability of ceramic technology is justified. It is proposed to use NZP ceramics as heat-insulating materials capable of working under abrupt temperature shifts.
