CUO-ZnO ceramic corrposites have been obtained by pessing conventional method.
The composite materials are CUO and ZnO powders with ratio in mass conposition of CuO
and ZnO are7 5o/o:25Y8o0, o/o:2ff/o8, 5Yo:t5o/o9,0 Yo:l0%oa nd9 5o/o:5o/Toh. e samplesw ere made
by three steps. The first step, CUO and ZnO powders are sieved with particle size of 100 mesh.
Theq both of powders are mixed until homgeneous for 5 minutes with dry mixing method.
The second step, the bomgeneous powders are fab'ricated with pressure at 300 MPa for 10
minutes to form a pellet. The last step, the pellet was burned by furnace at tryeratures 80(PC,
90ffC and 100fC for 3 hours. Each sample that has been burned was characterized by
physical properties (densrty), morphological analysis (SEM), mechanical properties
(conpressive strength and hardness) and crystalline structural analysis CXRD). The results of
