Acid aluminum phosphate for the binding and coating of materials

This is a review of acid aluminum phosphate for the binding and coating of materials. The acid aluminum phosphate in the form of a solution obtained by dissolving aluminum hydroxide in phosphoric acid, with a P/Al molar ratio of 23, is effective for the binding of fibrous or particulate materials. Porous ceramic articles are made using this binder by wet forming, followed by heat treatment. The...

Fluoride and aluminum release from restorative materials using ion chromatography

OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to determine the amounts of fluoride and aluminum released from different restorative materials stored in artificial saliva and double-distilled water. MATERIAL AND METHODS Cylindrical specimens (10 x 1 mm) were prepared from 4 different restorative materials (Kavitan Plus, Vitremer, Dyract Extra, and Surefil). For each material, 20 specimens were prepared,...

Through-tiiickness Elastic Constant for Aramid-epoxy/aluminum Composite Materials*

The objectives in this study were to deterrnine the through-thickness elastic constant of fiber-epoxy/metal composites with ultrasonic measurements and determine the elastic constants of the constituent layers. The specimens that we studied consist of alternaring layers of aluminum (2024 TI) and fiber-epoxy [1], all of which are 200 to 300 jlm thick. As Figure 1 indicates the outer two layers o...

Migration of aluminum from food contact materials to food—a health risk for consumers? Part I of III: exposure to aluminum, release of aluminum, tolerable weekly intake (TWI), toxicological effects of aluminum, study design, and methods

BACKGROUND In spite of the prevalence of aluminum in nature, no organism has been found to date which requires this element for its biological functions. The possible health risks to human beings resulting from uptake of aluminum include detrimental effects to the hemopoietic system, the nervous system and bones. Aluminum is used in many fields and occurs in numerous foodstuffs. Food contact ma...
