abstract

background: many attempts have been performed and continued for improvement of dental amalgam properties during last decades. the aim of present research was fabrication and characterization of amalgam/titania nano composite and evaluation of its corrosion behavior. materials and methods: in this experimental research, nano particles of titania were added to initial amalgam alloy powder and then, dental amalgam was prepared. in order to investigate the effect of nano particle amounts on properties of dental amalgam, proper amount of 0, 0.5, 1, 2 and 3 wt% of titania nano particles were added to amalgam alloy powder and the prepared composite powder was triturated by a given percent of mercury. x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and energy-dispersive spectroscopy techniques were use to characterize the prepared nano composites. potentiodynamic polarization corrosion tests were performed in the normal saline (0.9 wt% nacl) and ringer’s solutions as electrolytes at 37°c. immersion corrosion tests were also performed immediately 2 h after preparation of cylindrical samples (4 mm in diameter and 8 mm height) via immersion into a 100 ml volumetric flask consisting of artificial saliva. results: the results indicated that the current corrosion density of amalgam/titania nano composite changes a bit with adding 1% of nano particles of titania. also, during the 1st h after preparation, initial released mercury from prepared nano composite dental amalgam decreased. conclusion: by adding nano particles of titania and preparing amalgam/titania nano composite as a dental amalgam, corrosion behavior and mercury release during the 2st h after preparation could be improved. key words: corrosion behavior, dental amalgam, mercury release, nano particles, titania

STUDY ON CORROSION BEHAVIOR OF COBALT NANO COMPOSITE COATINGS

Metal matrix nano composite coatings possess enhanced properties such as corrosion and wear resistance. This paper aims to study the corrosion behavior of pure Co and Co-BN nano composite coatings deposited with different particles concentration (5-20 g L-1) on copper substrates using electroplating technique. Morphology and elemental compositions of the coatings were investigated by means of s...

SYNTHESIS AND CORROSION PROTECTION BEHAVIOR OF EPOXYTiO2-MICACEOUS IRON OXIDE NANO - COMPOSITE COATING ON St-37

The micro layers micaceous iron oxide and nano-TiO 2 were incorporated into the epoxy resin by mechanical mixing and sonication process. Optical micrographs showed that the number and diameter size of nanoparticle agglomerates were decreased by sonication. The structure and composition of the nanocomposite was determined using transmission electron microscopy which showed the presence of disper...

Effect of nano-Al2O3 particles concentration on microstructure and corrosion behavior of Co-P-nano-Al2O3 composite coating

Composite coatings containing P and ceramic particles are considered in terms of properties such as corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance and high hardness. In this study, Co-P-nanoAl2O3 composite coating was fabricated on the AISI 430 stainless steel substrate using a direct current electric deposition technique. The quality of the coating and its corrosion resistance were studied by chan...
