Discovery of DNA. Today, we know that DNA is the genetic material: the molecule that bears genes, is passed from parents to children, and provides instructions for the growth and functioning of living organisms. But scientists didnât always know this.
Dixon Chew is a leading UK manufacturer of Reactive Zirconium Chemicals. Our modern, well-equipped manufacturing facility located in Dewsbury has been built for flexible and reliable processing aimed at minimising order turn round times, maximising yields and reducing our environmental impact.
Unlike other ceramic materials, zirconium oxide (ZrO 2 âalso known as zirconia) is a material with very high resistance to crack propagation. Zirconium oxide ceramics also have very high thermal expansion and are therefore often the material of choice for joining ceramic and steel.nother outstanding property combination is the very low thermal conductivity and high strength. In addition, some types of zirconium oxide ceramics can conduct oxygen ions. Components made from this material are significantly more expensive than components made of alumina ceramics.
