Study on Microwave Sintering Process and Surface Texture Characteristics of Ceramic Materials

Surface Characteristics and Biofilm Development on Selected Dental Ceramic Materials

BACKGROUND Intraoral adjustment and polishing of dental ceramics often affect their surface characteristics, promoting increased roughness and consequent biofilm growth. This study correlated surface roughness to biofilm development with four commercially available ceramic materials. METHODS Four ceramic materials (Vita Enamic®, Lava™ Ultimate, Vitablocs Mark II, and Wieland Reflex®) were pre...

Advanced Sintering of Nano-Ceramic Materials

a study on the design of bio-ethanol process from date wastes of sistan and baluchistan province

اتانول کاربردهای متنوعی در صنایع لاستیک سازی، رنگسازی، حلالها ومکمل سوخت خودرو دارد. اتانول برخلاف نفت از جمله مواد تجدیدپذیر محسوب می شود که مشکلات زیست محیطی و آلودگی نیز ایجاد نمی کند. استفاده از اتانول به عنوان مکمل سوختخودروها از جمله مهمترین مصارف صنعتی این ماده بشمار می رود. با توجه به این موضوع تحقیق و توسعه در زمینه تولید اتانول با درجه خلوص بالا در سطح جهان، و نه تنها در کشور های پیشر...

Finite element simulation of pyroplastic deformation, anisotropic shrinkage and heterogeneous densification for ceramic materials during liquid phase sintering process

Pyroplastic deformation is a distortion of the ceramic shape during the sintering process. It occurs because the flow of the vitreous phase at high temperature and the applied stress due to the weight of the product during sintering process. The aim of this paper deals with describing a numerical-experimental method to evaluate the pyroplastic deformation, to predict the anisotropic shrinkage a...

Bond strength of veneer ceramic and zirconia cores with different surface modifications after microwave sintering

PURPOSE To evaluate the effects of surface treatments on shear bond strength (SBS) between microwave and conventionally sintered zirconia core/veneers. MATERIALS AND METHODS 96 disc shaped Noritake Alliance zirconia specimens were fabricated using YenaDent CAM unit and were divided in 2 groups with respect to microwave or conventional methods (n=48/group). Surface roughness (Ra) evaluation wa...
