摘要
Cordierite ceramic material, due to its properties such as low thermal expansion coefficient, low dielectric constant and high specific resistivity, could be used as an insulating material in high-frequency electronics, as well as a substrate for integrated circuits and electronic modules. In this paper, cordierite (2MgOb7;2Alb>2b>Ob>3b>b7;5SiOb>2b>) was synthesized by the non-hydrolytic sol–gel process combined with solvothermal treatment starting from aluminium chloride, TEOS and magnesium chloride dissolved in absolute ethanol. Crystallization of bc;-cordierite from gel occurred at temperatures between 900 and 1000 b0;C and a higher calcination temperature resulted in the transformation of bc;-cordierite to b1;-cordierite. Cordierite material obtained by sintering of powder in the temperature range from 1400 to 1450 b0;C showed values of the dielectric constants from 7.93 to 3.78 and values of dielectric loss tangents from 0.049 to 0.001.
