  • Metal oxide dielectric dense bodies, precursor powders therefor, and methods for preparing same
    Patent number: 5188886
    Abstract: A metal oxide dielectric dense body, comprising (I) grains having a predominant crystalline phase (a) a primary metal oxide selected from the group consisting of silicon and magnesium oxide and (b) optionally a secondary metal oxide selected from the group consisting of aluminum and zinc oxide and (II) between about 1 and about 20 atom % bismuth, vanadium, or boron oxide or combination thereof, discontinuously located at the boundaries of the crystalline grains or as inclusions in the crystalline grains, the atom %'s based on the total atoms of bismuth, vanadium, boron, silicon, magnesium, aluminum, and zinc. The dense body has a density which is at least 95% of theoretical.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: September 27, 1991
    Date of Patent: February 23, 1993
    Assignee: Raychem Corporation
    Inventors: Ryan W. Dupon, Mark S. Thompson, Gary H. Wiseman, Douglas J. Musolf, Adam C. Tanous
