The possibility of tailormaking the substrate simply by variations in powders and/or in sintering technology (recent examples gradiented structures and WC plate reinforcement). 

Consequently, it can be concluded that the enhancement of the NO2 sensitivity and selectivity for the zirconia mixed-potential sensors with the oxide-SE will be focused on the technological improvements in fabrication of the SE. Eurther development of the sintering technology for the SE will be based on predicted calculation of how the initial binary oxide mixtures will be transferred into solid solutions with domination of one oxide phase and trace of another. In these solid solutions, the electrode kinetic of the bulk reactions within the SE will be responsible for sensitivity and selectivity of the sensor. 

Batch sintering in stationary furnaces of different kinds is used primarily for the posttreatment of agglomerated products to gain final strength and properties but also for laboratory work in connection with the development of continuous sintering technologies and for pilot plants [B.12c, B.16, B.25].

Although there have been considerable achievements in terms of crystalline ceramic composites reinforced with CNTs, no study has been carried out for glass-ceramics composites and no pressureless sintering technology was used either to address the complicated shape. The objective of this study was to fabricate dense barium aluminosilicate-silicon nitride-carbon nanotube...
