Optimization of the bulk thermal expansion coefficient of the Al2Mo3O12 using nanometric powder in order to approximate the intrinc and the extrinsic thermal properties.When a solid body is exposed to temperature variation, a change of dimensions will occur due to emergence of different effects originating at atomic (intrinsic) or microstructural (extrinsic) scales. The intrinsic thermal expansion is measured by X-ray diffraction from lattice parameters increase, on the other hand, the technique of dilatometric measures both the intrinsic as both extrinsic effects may then be defined as their CTE solid (bulk). Cubic materials exhibit isotropic behavior during thermal expansion, and thus may be insignificant variations between intrinsic and CTE s massive. Anisotropic materials have different coefficients of thermal expansion along the crystallographic axes, and presents major differences between the intrinsic properties and thermal expansion of the bulk, being mostly a bulk CTE smaller than the intrinsic one. The application of these anisotropic materials is difficult because bulk CTE massive changes expected due to formation of microcracks. The Al2Mo3O12 was obtained by three routes :coprecipitation (nanometric way) , sol-gel assisted with polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and by solid state reaction (micrometric ways). Thus the result of bulk CET obtained by the three methods were compared and also compared with those found in the literature for intrinsic behavior and bulk. The nanometric Al2Mo3O12 showed a bulk linear CTE close to the intrinsic value, whereas micrometric one showed a negative bulk CTE ,which confirms that from a critical cristal size it is no possible to obtain bulk CTE close to the intrinsic one.
