Alumina Fibre Reinforced Zirconia Composite Substrates for Planar SOFCS

Carbon Nanotube Reinforced Alumina Composite Materials

Provisional repair of a zirconia fixed partial denture with fibre-reinforced restorative composite: a clinical report.

Although all-ceramic restorations have become popular, they present some biomechanical problems. Some technical failures can be repaired intraorally to help maintain the longevity of the restoration. This clinical report describes an intraoral method for repairing a fractured 4-unit posterior zirconia-based ceramic fixed partial denture using fibre-reinforced composite material.

Machining of Fibre Reinforced Plastic Composite Materials

Fibre reinforced plastic composite materials are difficult to machine because of the anisotropy and inhomogeneity characterizing their microstructure and the abrasiveness of their reinforcement components. During machining, very rapid cutting tool wear development is experienced, and surface integrity damage is often produced in the machined parts. An accurate selection of the proper tool and m...

Ultrasonic Velocity Measurements in Alumina-zirconia Ceramic Composite System

Among novel structural materials, composites are attractive because they combine the properties of two o more individual components. As an important example, in alumina-zirconia ceramic composite system, the incorporation of α-Al2O3 into stabilized zirconia increases significantly the mechanical and thermal properties. In this work an alumina-zirconia ceramic composite have been prepared with d...

Frictional heating in a unidirectional fibre-reinforced ceramic composite

Holmes and Shuler [1] recently found that significant internal heating occurs during the cyclic loading of fibre-reinforced ceramics. In their investigation, conducted with cross-ply carbon fibre/SiC matrix composites (hereafter referred to as Cf/SiC), it was observed that the extent of internal heating was strongly influenced by the peak fatigue stress and loading frequency. For example, durin...
