Sinterability of La0.7Ca0.3MnO3precursors, obtained by the freeze-drying method, is studied in order to develop a technique for preparation of dense (>95%) ceramics for CMR measurements and sputtering applications. Single phase powders, obtained by thermal decomposition at 650°C, were subjected to deagglomeration by ultrasonic or mechanical treatment. Sintering of deagglomerated powders for several hours at T=1200–1300°C allowed to achieve densities up to 97–98%. The best sinterability is demonstrated by mechanically processed powder, but further sintering of ceramics, obtained from this precursor, results in significant dedensification (up to 85% at 1300°C). Analysis of precursors and dedensified samples shows at high temperature decomposition of carbonates in closed pores to be the most probable reason for the observed process.
