surface charge properties of zirconium dioxide

Surface charge properties of zirconium dioxide

Zirconium dioxide, commonly known as zirconia, is an interesting material and is receiving growing attention due to its excellent mechanical properties. The solid was characterized for surface area measurements, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Energy dispersive X-ray diffractometry (EDX) and potentiometric titrations. Surface titrations were carried out at the temperature range 303 to 323K ...

The visible spectrum of zirconium dioxide, ZrO2.

The electronic spectrum of a cold molecular beam of zirconium dioxide, ZrO(2), has been investigated using laser induced fluorescence (LIF) in the region from 17,000 cm(-1) to 18,800 cm(-1) and by mass-resolved resonance enhanced multi-photon ionization (REMPI) spectroscopy from 17,000 cm(-1)-21,000 cm(-1). The LIF and REMPI spectra are assigned to progressions in the Ã(1)B(2)(ν(1), ν(2), ν(3))...

Charge properties ofmixtures ofminerals with variable and constant surface charge

Surface charge of mixtures of lepidocrocite and i\lite determined by adsorption of potentia l-determining and electrolyte ions is studied as a functi on of pH and NaCI concentration. Deviations between results oblained by both methods were a fu nction of the ill ile content of the mixtures, and can be mainly attributed lO coatings of hydroxyalum inium compl exes on the constant charge surfaces ...

Evaluation of Corrosion Property of Aluminium-Zirconium Dioxide (AlZrO2) Nanocomposites

Biological Evaluation of Implant Drill Made from Zirconium Dioxide

PURPOSE Zirconia is a good candidate material in the dental field. In this study, we evaluated biological responses against a zirconia drill using a bone cavity healing model. MATERIALS AND METHODS Zirconia drills, stainless steel drills, and the drilled bone surface were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), before and after cavity preparation. For the bone cavity healing model, th...

Radioactive potential of zirconium-dioxide used for dental applications.

PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to investigate the possible radioactive potential of zirconium dioxide (ZrO2) dental ceramics. Such information is necessary since they became an integral part of routine prosthetic rehabilitations and devoid of scientific information about their radioactivity creates some concern in the dental community. METHODS Four different types of commercial ZrO2 ce...
