Zirconia as a ceramic biomaterial.
Zirconia ceramics have several advantages over other ceramic materials, due to the transformation toughening mechanisms operating in their microstructure that can give to components made out of them, very interesting mechanical properties. The research on the use of zirconia ceramics as biomaterials started about twenty years ago, and now zirconia (Y-YZP) is in clinical use in THR, but developm...
متن کاملZirconia as a Dental Biomaterial
Ceramics are very important in the science of dental biomaterials. Among all dental ceramics, zirconia is in evidence as a dental biomaterial and it is the material of choice in contemporary restorative dentistry. Zirconia has been applied as structural material for dental bridges, crowns, inserts, and implants, mostly because of its biocompatibility, high fracture toughness, and radiopacity. H...
متن کاملDielectric elastomers as next-generation polymeric actuators
Due to their versatile properties, robust behavior, facile processability and low cost, organic polymers have become the material of choice for an increasing number of mature and cutting-edge technologies. In the last decade or so, a new class of polymers capable of responding to external electrical stimulation by displaying significant size or shape change has emerged. These responsive materia...
متن کاملLiquid Crystalline Elastomers as Artificial Muscles
We find that low molecular weight liquid crystalline cooperative effects acting over length scales larger than the typical mesh size of a liquid single crystalline elastomer {LSCE), controls the elastomer shape. This result provides a “proof of concept” for the novel suggestion of de Gennes et al. that LSCEs may be used as temperature activated artificial muscles.
متن کامل10. Silicones as Mold-Making Elastomers
Long ago, people must have realised that clay could be used to take imprints of simple objects like a leaf, or later, a coin. Carefully withdrawing the clay gave a negative of the object or a mold in which other materials like plaster could be cast to reproduce the original. Clay is still used today to make molds, particularly to reproduce museum pieces like statues, not only because it is inex...
