The bulk density, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of MgO-2B2O3 series ceramics synthesized by solid-state reaction method were systematically studied in this paper. X-ray diffraction and microstructural analysis revealed that the as-prepared MgO-2B2O3 ceramics possessed a single-phase structure with rod-like morphology. Through the investigation of the effects of different dosages of H3BO3 and BCB on bulk density, sintering behavior and microwave dielectric properties of MgO-2B2O3 ceramics, the optimum sintering temperature was obtained at an addition of 30wt%H3BO3 and 8wt%BCB and the sintering temperature was reduced to 825 oC. The addition of 40wt %H3BO3 and 4 wt%BCB increased the quality factor Q×f, permittivity εr and temperature coefficient of resonance frequency τf of MgO-2B2O3 to 44,306 GHz, 5.1 and -32 ppm/oC, respectively, meeting the criteria of low-temperature co-fired ceramics.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
