Definitions
- the present invention relates generally to compositions of matter and methods for synthesizing a composition of matter including controlling the pore size, pore size distribution and porosity of aluminum-oxide based ceramics through the choice of substituents on carboxylate-alumoxanes and aluminum-oxide nanoparticles.
- the invention includes aluminum and aluminum oxide ceramic bodies with intra-granular pores in the nanometer range and methods for forming intra-granular pores in the nanometer range in alumina and aluminum oxide ceramic bodies.
- the invention provides for the control over pore size and pore size distribution by the use of chemical substituents on the carboxylate-alumoxanes and aluminum-oxide nanoparticles.
- the invention also includes the use of controlled-porosity ceramics for ceramic membrane filters and coatings and interphase layers for fibers and fiber reinforced composites.
- the oxides and hydroxides of aluminum are undoubtedly among the most industrially important chemicals. Their uses include: precursors for the production of aluminum metal, catalysts and absorbents; structural ceramic materials; reinforcing agents for plastics and rubbers, antacids and binders for the pharmaceutical industry; and as low dielectric loss insulators in the electronics industry.
- Traditional ceramic processing involves three basic steps generally referred to as powder-processing, shape-forming, and densification, often with a final mechanical finishing step (Kingery et al. 1976 and Richerson 1992).
- solution-gelation processes have been applied industrially used for the production of porous materials and coatings.
- Solution-gelation involves a four stage process: dispersion; gelation; drying; and firing.
- a stable liquid dispersion or sol of the colloidal ceramic precursor is initially formed in a solvent with appropriate additives.
- the dispersion is polymerized to form a solid dispersion or gel.
- the excess liquid is removed from this gel by drying, and the final ceramic is formed by firing the gel at higher temperatures.
- the common solution-gelation route to aluminum oxides employs aluminum hydroxide (or hydroxide-based material) as the solid colloid, with the second phase being water and/or an organic solvent.
- Aluminum hydroxide gels have traditionally been prepared by the neutralization of a concentrated aluminum salt solution (Serna et al. 1977), however, the strong interactions of the freshly precipitated alumina gels with ions from the precursor solutions makes it difficult to prepare these gels in pure form (Green and Hem 1974). To avoid this complication alumina gels may be prepared from the hydrolysis of aluminum alkoxides, Al(OR) 3 (Eq. 1).
- the aluminum based sol-gels formed during the hydrolysis of aluminum compounds belong to a general class of compounds, namely alumoxanes. These materials were first reported in 1958 (Andrianov and Zhadanov, 1958) with siloxide substituents, however, they have since been prepared with a wide variety of substituents on aluminum. Recent work has shown that the structure of alumoxanes is as three dimensional cage compounds (Apblett et al. 1992 and Landry et al. 1993). For example, siloxy-alumoxanes, [Al(O)(OH) x (OSiR3) ⁇ .
- Carboxylate-substituted alumoxanes have been well characterized (Landry et al. 1995 and Callender et al. 1997). Solution particle-size measurements shows that carboxylate-alumoxanes are nano-particles with sizes ordinarily ranging from 1 - 1000 nm ( Figure 10, 11 and 12). Nano- particles are ordinarily defined as materials with sizes ranging from 1 nm to 1 ⁇ m. The carboxylate ligand is bound to the aluminum surface, and is only removed under extreme conditions. The carboxylate-alumoxane materials prepared from the reaction of boehmite and carboxylic acids are air and water stable materials and are easily processable (Figure 7).
- the soluble carboxylate-alumoxanes can be dip-coated, spin coated, and spray-coated onto various substrates.
- the physical properties of these alumoxanes are highly dependent on the identity of the alkyl substituents, R, and range from those associated with insoluble crystalline powders to powders that readily form solutions or gels in hydrocarbon solvents and/or water.
- These alumoxanes are indefinitely stable under ambient conditions, and are adaptable to a wide range of processing techniques.
- the alumoxanes can be easily converted to aluminum oxide upon mild thermolysis, while they also react with metal complexes to form doped or mixed aluminum oxides (Kareiva et al. 1996).
- porosity pore size, pore size distribution and pore density
- Lower porosity improves strength, load-bearing capacity, and corrosion resistance, but can also lead to catastrophic failure from thermal shock, because the pores present
- the pore size, pore size distribution and porosity are functions of the ceramic particles used to make the ceramic body, because the porosity is determined by the gaps between the individual particles ( Figure 4) and is therefore inter-granular, that is between the crystal grains. For example, pores below 0J ⁇ m in diameter require that submicron powders be used (in traditional ceramic processing),, while smaller pores require sol-gel processing.
- Fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites are potential candidates for use in high temperature structural applications (Courtright, 1991).
- aerospace applications include high thrust-to-weight ratio gas turbine engines and high-specific- impulse rocket motors.
- Ground based applications include high efficiency turbine and diesel engines.
- FRCMCs have higher strengths at lower densities, higher maximum use temperatures, and better oxidation resistance.
- FRCMCs fiber reinforced ceramic matrix composites
- the fiber-matrix interface must be sufficiently weak to allow debonding and sliding when a crack impinges upon it from the matrix; otherwise the crack passes through the fiber (or the fiber fails near the crack tip) and there is minimal or no toughening (Michalke and Hellmann, 1988).
- control of pore size, pore size distribution and porosity in ceramics is important for their applications in ceramic membranes and catalyst supports.
- Membrane-based technologies play a unique and increasingly important role in pollution prevention, resource recovery and waste treatment activities (Baker, 1991). Due in large part to cost considerations, polymeric membranes have dominated these environmental separations applications.
- Membrane characteristics as well as the properties of the contaminants can be manipulated through adjustments in the solution chemistry of the feed stream in one or more pretreatment steps (Anderson et al. 1988).
- Ceramic membranes are typically produced by slip casting a colloidal suspension on a porous ceramic support: Okubo, et al. (1990), Elaloui et al. (1997), Lin et al. (1991), Lao et al. (1994), Zaspalis et al. (1992).
- a schematic view of a typical membrane design is shown in Figure 5. The individual membranes are mounted into a membrane module (see Figure 6). Control of the colloidal suspension in the sol-gel process and limitations on the size of colloids that can be produced have constrained the range of membrane types that can be produced.
- the membrane selectivity is primarily dependent upon the pore-size distribution: a narrow distribution contributes to a highly selective membrane.
- Membrane permeability is a function of global porosity, membrane thickness, connectivity, and pore-size distribution.
- Membrane durability is obtained by high homogeneity and high density; the latter entails a clear compromise with permeability.
- Mechanical integrity is enhanced in such application by slip-casting a relatively thin selective membrane onto a larger, durable membrane of poor selectivity but high permeability.
- the present invention provides alumina and aluminum-oxide ceramic membranes filters of controlled pore size, pore size distribution and porosity, a method to produce such filters, and the use of these materials as ceramic membrane filters.
- the inventive method is based on the use of carboxylate-alumoxanes that can be described by the general formula: [Al(O) x (OH)y( ⁇ 2CR) z ] ⁇ and/or [Al(O) x (OH) y (O 2 CR) z (O 2 CR) z .] n and/or
- RCO2" (and RCO2 " and R”CO 2 ") are mono-carboxylates and R (and R' and R") are the same or different and are from the group of a hydrogen and/or an organic group.
- the organic group is preferably an alkyl, alkenyl, aromatic, haloalkyl, haloalkenyl, haloaromatic groups or alkyl, alkenyl, aromatic ether groups or an organic group containing a hetero-atom including, oxygen, nitrogen, sulfur, phosphorous.
- These components may be prepared by the methods described in Landry et al. (1995), Apblett et al. (1992), Kareiva et al. (1996), and the preferred method of Callender et al. (1997).
- the composition of the carboxylate-alumoxane varies depending on the starting materials employed and the details of the synthetic method employed by Callender et al. (1997). Thermolysis of the carboxylate-alumoxanes results in alumina being formed.
- the size and distribution of pores within the alumina-oxide ceramic is dependent on the identity of the carboxylate substituents. In particular, the formation of intra- versus inter-granular porosity is dependent on the identity of the carboxylate substituents. Similarly, size and distribution of the pores is controlled by the choice of the organic substituents.
- the invention also provides methods for the manufacture of ceramic coatings on ceramic and carbon fibers for composite applications and ceramic membranes with nanometer sized pores. Dipping a ceramic or carbon fiber into a solution of the carboxylate-alumoxane in accordance with the invention, drying and firing provides a uniform coating of the aluminum- oxide based ceramic on the surface of the fiber.
- the pore size, pore size distribution and porosity, and hence the strength, permeability and surface adhesion of the ceramic coating is controlled by the choice of the substituent on the carboxylate-alumoxane.
- Thermolysis of self-supporting spun layers of the carboxylate-alumoxanes results in disks of alumina with controlled pore size, pore size distribution and porosity.
- a porous substrate may be dipped or coated with a solution of the carboxylate-alumoxane, followed by thermolysis to produce a composite membrane.

- This invention discloses the use of carboxylate-alumoxanes ([Al(O) x (OH) y (O2CR) z ] n ) and/or aluminum-oxide nano-particles to prepare alumina and aluminum oxide-based ceramic bodies, coatings and membranes with chemically controlled pore sizes, pore size distributions and porosities.
- Such ceramics with chemically controlled porosities may be used as membrane materials with controlled pore size distributions or as coatings on fibers.
- the carboxylato-alumoxanes are precursors to alumina and aluminum oxides (Table 1) and are prepared by the reaction of boehmite or pseudoboehmite with carboxylic acids in a suitable solvent (Tables 2, 3, 4, and 5).
- the boehmite (or pseudoboehmite) source can be a commercial boehmite product such as Catapal (A, B, C, D, or FI, Vista Chemical Company) or boehmite prepared by the precipitation of aluminum nitrate with ammonium hydroxide and then hydrothermally treated at 200 °C for 24 hours or boehmite prepared by the hydrolysis of aluminum trialkoxides followed by hydrothermal treatment at 200 °C.
- the carboxylic acid can be any monocarboxylic acid.
- the carboxylic acid can be aromatic, aliphatic, and can contain hetero- atom functional groups such as hydroxyls, amines, mercaptans, phosphines, etc.
- the carboxylate alumoxanes are stable both in solution and the solid state.
- the solubility of the carboxylate alumoxanes is dependent only on the identity of the carboxylic acid residue, which is almost unrestricted according to the present invention. The solubility of the alumoxanes is therefore readily controlled so as to make them compatible with any co-reactants.
- the alumoxanes have yet further benefits with respect to large scale production of ternary and quaternary ceramics.
- the most dramatic of these is the simplicity of the alumoxane methodology.
- the alumoxane route is simple, and can be halted and/or modified at any stage without significant effects on the products.
- a careful control of pH, the use of additives to inhibit precipitation, and slow concentration steps are not required, thus making the alumoxane route easier and quicker than prior art techniques.
- Another benefit with respect to large scale processing is the relatively low cost of the alumoxane precursors.
- Thermogravimetric/differential thermal analysis (TG/DTA) of the carboxylate- alumoxanes generally indicates two major decomposition regions. The relative mass loss and temperatures at which these regions occur is dependent on the identity of the carboxylic acid. The volatiles are predominantly the carboxylic acid and water, with traces of the ketone, i.e., acetone is liberated from the acetate-alumoxane (A-alumoxane or A- A). As may be expected, the ceramic yield is conditional on the identity of the carboxylic acid: greatest for A-A (ca. 75 %), lowest for methoxy(ethoxyethoxy)acetate-alumoxane (MEEA-A) (ca. 20 %). All of the carboxylate- alumoxanes decompose above 180 °C to give amorphous alumina. Firing above 900 °C (> 3 h.)
- the ⁇ -Al 2 ⁇ 3 formed from MEEA-, MEA-, and MA- (methoxyacetate) alumoxanes exists as a nanocrystalline matrix with a very high volume of large interconnecting pores, as determined by TEM studies ( Figure 13).
- analysis of the ⁇ -Al2 ⁇ 3 formed from A-alumoxane revealed very fine uniform intra-granular porosity (Figure 14), in which the crystallite size is relatively large (ca. 2 ⁇ m).
- the difference in pore size and structure is more consistent with the chemical identity of the substituents than the physical processing conditions, i.e., a higher organic volume outgassed produces larger pores.
- alumoxane series it is possible to engineer pore size continuously between these extremes by using mixed ligand solutions (Figure 25).
- A-alumoxane acetate-alumoxane
- the pores are intra-granular, that is, they are within the individual crystal grains ( Figure 6).
- This novelty of chemical control over the formation of intra- granular (rather than inter-granular) porosity has the aforementioned benefit of increased fracture toughness.
- Intra-granular pores instead of inter-granular therefore allow increased fracture toughness and less opportunity for pore/boundary/crack interactions to occur.
- the formation of intra-granular pores for the A-alumoxane is thought to be due to the nano-particulate nature of
- Control of pore size, pore size distribution and porosity, and hence density, through chemical means is an important departure from traditional ceramic processing in which physical methods only are applied.
- the porosity of the resulting alumina is dependent on the length of the carboxylate side chain. That is, the pore sizes for carboxylate-alumoxanes with CH3 substituents is different from those with C5H11 substituents.
- Another approach to controlling pore size, pore size distribution and porosity described herein is the use of spacer ligands.
- the alumoxane can be cross-linked after fabrication of the membrane with di-acids ( Figure 4). Upon pyrolysis, it then inhibits the collapse of the ceramic.
- a physical mixture of more than one carboxylate-alumoxane may be produced and fired to alumina (Tables 4, 5, 6 and 7).
- the porosity (average pore size and pore size distribution) is dependent on the relative amounts of each carboxylate-alumoxane (Table 8). In general, the porosity is a mixture of the values of each individual carboxylate-alumoxane ( Figures 26 and 27).
- Mixed carboxylate-alumoxanes may be synthesized in which more than one type of carboxylate group is bonded to each of the alumoxane nano-particles.
- the resulting porosity is different than the individual materials, and is dependent on the relative concentration of each carboxylate used (Table 8).
- the relative intra- to inter-granular porosity can be controlled by the choice of carboxylate group and/or mixtures or carboxylate groups.
- a porous substrate such as a glass or ceramic filter frit may be spun coated, painted, or dip-coated with the carboxylate-alumoxane solution, Figure 21 (Tables 9 and 10). After drying and firing the composite consists of a membrane supported on a coarse filter ( Figure 20).
- the support for the carboxylate-alumoxane derived ceramic membrane does not have to be flat but may be a ceramic tube or column. If doped carboxylate-alumoxanes are employed, then the resulting membrane will have the composition of the doped carboxylate-alumoxane. In order to ensure that uniform membranes are produced, physical mixtures of different carboxylate-alumoxanes can be used. The lowering of phase formation/crystal growth temperatures observed for the carboxylate-alumoxane in
- Carbon or ceramic fibers can also be dipped or coated with a solution of the carboxylate- alumoxanes ( Figures 22, 23, and 24). After drying either in air, in an oven or with a heat gun, the carboxylate-alumoxane can be thermolyzed to give the appropriate ceramic coating with a chemically controlled porosity.
- Suitable ceramic fibers include (but are not limited to) silicon carbide ( Figure 23) and sapphire ( Figure 24). The conditions of thermolysis of the alumoxane coating are dependent on the type of the fiber and the identity of the carboxylate-alumoxane.
- the ceramic coatings produced using the carboxylate-alumoxanes show superior coverage, better uniformity, and lower defects than found for sol-gel type coatings, due to the nano-particle nature of the carboxylate-alumoxane. Furthermore, the lowering of phase formation/crystal growth temperatures observed for the carboxylate-alumoxane allow for less damage to the fiber substrate during formation of the ceramic coating.

- Sample tubes used are all Coulter Rapi-tubes. Samples were outgassed at 350 °C for 3 hours under nitrogen gas on the SA 3100. All sample masses were in the 0J00 g to 0J90 g range.

Images were taken at scan sizes of 10 ⁇ m, 1 ⁇ m, and 200 nm, and the scan angle was changed from 0 to 45° to check the integrity of the images. Images were later processed to obtain roughness, grain size, and section analysis with the accompanying Nanoscope software.

Abstract
L'invention concerne en général un procédé servant à contrôler la dimension des pores, la répartition de cette dimension et la porosité de céramiques à base d'oxyde d'aluminium et consistant à sélectionner des substituants de carboxylate-alumoxanes et de nanoparticules d'oxyde d'aluminium. Ce procédé permet d'obtenir des pores intragranulaires de l'ordre du nanomètre à créer dans des corps de céramique d'alumine et d'oxyde d'aluminium. On effectue le contrôle de la dimension des pores et de la répartition de cette dimension par l'intermédiaire de différents substituants chimiques des carboxylate-alumoxanes et des nanoparticules d'oxyde d'aluminium. La dimension et la répartition des pores à l'intérieur de la céramique d'oxyde d'aluminium dépend de l'identité des substituants de carboxylate. En particulier, la formation d'une porosité intragranulaire par rapport à une porosité intergranulaire dépend de l'identité des substituants de carboxylate. L'invention concerne également des procédés servant à fabriquer des revêtements de céramique sur des fibres de céramique et de carbone pour des mises en application composites et des membranes de céramique présentant des dimensions de pores de l'ordre du nanomètre. On contrôle la dimension des pores, la répartition de la dimension des spores, la porosité et, de ce fait, la résistance, la perméabilité et l'adhérence de surface du revêtement de céramique au moyen du choix du substituant de carboxylate-alumoxane. La thermolyse de couches centrifugées autonomes de ces carboxylate-alumoxanes permet d'obtenir des disques d'alumine dont la dimension de pores, la répartition de cette dimension et la porosité ont été contrôlées. Dans un autre mode de réalisation, on trempe un substrat poreux dans une solution de carboxylate-alumoxane ou on le revêt de cette solution, puis on le soumet à une thermolyse afin d'obtenir une membrane composite.
