Silica-calcium zirconate nanocomposite was prepared in a two-step procedure. First, nanocalcium zirconate was synthesized by the modified sol-gel method; then, silica was added to the prepared sol and the resulting product was calcined at 700-1000 • C. Dilatometric measurements were performed to determine the coefficient of thermal expansion (k α ). It was concluded that k α was decreased from 15.96 × 10 −6 to 10.26 × 10 −6 1 • C −1 with the increase in calcium zirconate/silica ratio. Moreover, studies on the dielectric properties and calcination temperature showed that the dielectric constant (ε r ) was increased from 3.9 to 5.7.
