Novel Titanium Manganese Alloys and Their Macroporous Foams for Biomedical Applications Prepared by Field Assisted Sintering

In this chapter, a novel titanium (Ti) alloy and foam suitable for biomedical applications will be introduced. As we know, Ti and its alloys are widely used as biomaterials especially for orthopedic implants in load bearing sites as dental and orthopedic implants and heart valves, due to their high mechanical properties, corrosion resistance and biocompatibility (Geetha et al., 2009). Pure Ti w...

Microwave Assisted Reactive Sintering of Zirconium Oxynitrides

Design of Controlled Release Non-erodible Polymeric Matrix Tablet Using Microwave Oven-assisted Sintering Technique

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effect of sintering condition on matrix formation and subsequent drug release from polymer matrix tablet for controlled release. The present study highlights the use of a microwave oven for the sintering process in order to achieve more uniform heat distribution with reduction in time required for sintering. We could achieve effective sinte...

Master sintering curve for Gd-doped CeO2 solid electrolytes

The sintering behavior of gadolinia-doped ceria powders was studied by the master sintering curve (MSC). Dilatometric analyses of powders produced by a soft chemical method were performed to provide the experimental data set for the construction of the MSC. The assumed model provided good fittings of the MSC and the activation energy for the sintering of Ce1-xGdxO3-d, with x = 0, 0.05, 0.1, and...
