Na-Influenced Bulk and Surface Properties of the So-Called Iota(ι)-Alumina: Spectroscopy and Microscopy Studies

The test alumina (the so-called ι-Al2O3) was thermally recovered at 1,100°C from chitosan-AlOx hybrid films and found to contain Na and Ca impurity ions inherited from the parent chitosan. Two different modifications of pure alumina, namely, γ- and α-Al2O3, were adopted as control samples. The test...
