Waste Management of Building Ceramic Materials Using the DfD Technique: Sustainable Development and Environmentally Friendly

Nowadays, in modern societies, growing activities in construction affairs and their economic development have been resulted construction wastes and so much demolition in the past three decades. Most of these wastes have not been treated and therefore caused severe damages to the environment. In this research, after reviewing construction and demolition management methods and their accesso...

Application of All Ceramic Materials in Dentistry

The daily increase in Patientschr('39') demand for cosmetic treatments has led to dental restorations moving towards the use of all-ceramic materials. The development of all-ceramic restorations over the last decade has revolutionized aesthetic dentistry. Recent advances in ceramic manufacturing and processing methods have led to the evolutionary growth of all-ceramic materials with superior bi...

Ceramic Laser Materials

Ceramic laser materials have come a long way since the first demonstration of lasing in 1964. Improvements in powder synthesis and ceramic sintering as well as novel ideas have led to notable achievements. These include the first Nd:yttrium aluminum garnet (YAG) ceramic laser in 1995, breaking the 1 KW mark in 2002 and then the remarkable demonstration of more than 100 KW output power from a YA...

Hydroxyapatite based ceramic materials

Hydroxyapatite is the major mineral component of human bones. From the point of view of its chemistry, it is calcium orthophosphate which has in its structure hydroxyl groups and in its stoichiometric is described with formula – Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2. Biological properties of hydroxyapatite are very favorable; it is not only biocompatible (which means that after implantation it causes no side effects...
