Multidisciplinary
Center for Ceramic Materials Development
Affiliation : Chemistry
Department, Universidade Federal de
São Carlos
Research Activities : The main research interest are in the synthesis
and characterization of nanostructured ceramic materials for electronic application, as
well as the processing of ceramic thin films by chemical route. In these areas the
research focuses are: a) Synthesis of nanoparticles using soft chemical process ( water
solution sol-gel method based on the Pechini process), b) Grain growth control of
nanoparticles during synthesis and post annealing treatment (calcination and sintering
processes), c) Nanoparticles and grain boundary characterization by XRD ,
HRTEM, AEM (
Analytical Electron Microscopy), and gas adsorption techniques, d) Synthesis and
characterization of perovskite oxides and bismuth layer oxide thin films for DRAM and
FeRAM applications, using soft chemical process and spin or dip coating
deposition, e)
Synthesis by chemical process and optical characterization of amorphous titanates and
niobates with intense photoluminescence at room temperature, f) Synthesis of
nanostructured semiconductor for gas sensor and catalysis.

Laboratory of Ceramic Materials
Affiliation : Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering,
Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG)
Research Activities : The Laboratory of Ceramic Materials, LMC, was founded in 1992 by Dr. Wander
L.Vasconcelos at the Department of Metallurgical and Materials Engineering of the School
of Engineering of Federal University of Minas Gerais. The activities of LMC give support to teaching and researching in the field of ceramic
materials at UFMG. Post-Graduate Program on Metallurgical and Mining Engineering - CPGEM
(ranked as "national excellence program" by the Ministry of
Education).
The LMC offers also the major facilities for the Nucleus of Application and Research on
the Science and Engineering of Microstructures - NADCEM.
The major research projects related to sol-gel are:
Structural Characterization of Sol-Gel Materials, Synthesis and Fabrication of Crystalline
Ceramics and Glasses from Gels, Drying and Sintering, Sol-Gel Coatings, Sol-Gel Membranes,
Biomaterials from Sol-Gel, Nanocomposites and Hybrids from Gels,
Microstructural Modeling of Sol-Gel Materials.
