RESUMO

Negative and low thermal expansion materials have important potential applications as resistance to thermal shock, as well as, for odontological applications, printed circuit boards, optical components and to produce composites to compensate the positive thermal expansion of materials. For this reason, the study and production of materials with controlled thermal expansion have increased in the recent years. In the present work, some oxide families with structures that present this type of behavior were investigated. The thermal expansion in three systems of A2M3O12 family was evaluated in order to produce materials with controlled thermal expansion through the chemical substitution of cation A with Al, Cr and Fe. The produced systems were: Cr2xFe2-2xMo3O12 (chromium - iron molybdate), Al2xCr2-2xMo3O12 (chromium - aluminum molybdate) and Al2xFe2-2xMo3O12 (aluminum - iron molybdate). Besides that, HfMgMo3O12 was synthesized to test the viability of substitution of trivalent cations for one divalent plus one tetravalent. It was possible to obtain single- phase solid solutions and their lattice parameters increased linearly with the increase of the largest cation content, following the Vegard`s law. Thermal analysis carried out by DSC allowed the determination of the phase transition temperature from monoclinic (P21a) to orthorhombic (Pbcn) structure. The values were 200oC for Al2Mo3O12, , 403oC for Cr2Mo3O12 , and 512oC for Fe2Mo3O12. Intrinsic thermal expansion coefficients were determined by X-rays diffraction using syncrotron radiation, and low values were found for all studied systems: (alfa)1 = 2,32 x 10- 6/oC for Al2Mo3O12, (alfa)1 = 0,65 x 10-6/oC for Cr2Mo3O12 , and (alfa)1 = 1,72 x 10-6/oC for Fe2Mo3O12.
