Micromachining of Biolox Forte Ceramic Utilizing Combined Laser/Ultrasonic Processes

An Investigation of Processes for Glass Micromachining

This paper presents processes for glass micromachining, including sandblast, wet etching, reactive ion etching (RIE), and glass reflow techniques. The advantages as well as disadvantages of each method are presented and discussed in light of the experiments. Sandblast and wet etching techniques are simple processes but face difficulties in small and high-aspect-ratio structures. A sandblasted 2...

Switchable magnetic metamaterials using micromachining processes.

switchable metamaterials that possess very different states are almost a necessity. [ 11 ] Most of the tunable metamaterials that have been demonstrated rely on tuning constituent materials or changing surrounding media by introducing natural materials with higher tunability, such as liquid crystals and phase changing materials. [ 12–19 ] However, this limits the choices of materials and become...

Intrapelvic protrusion of the ceramic head resulting from forte ceramic liner fracture without a significant trauma: a case report.

In this article, we present a 48-year-old female case who had an unsuccessful previous forte ceramic-on-ceramic total hip arthroplasty for early coxarthrosis secondary to acetabular dysplasia. She had fracture and protrusion of the ceramic liner through the titanium acetabular shell without any apparent trauma, possibly resulting from the mistake during the implantation of the ceramic liner int...

A Study of Producing Ceramic Glaze Utilizing Shihmen Reservoir Silt

This study is based on the Shihmen Reservoir silt, where the largest quantity of silt is deposited and is located right next to the National Taiwan University of Art, and with combinations of other simple components, like various kinds of clay, plant ashes or other raw materials, to produce quality glazes that can perform artistic charm and give great additional values. The development of the n...
