Coating is one of the most effective measures to protect metallic materials from corrosion. Various types of coatings such as metallic, ceramic and polymer coatings have been investigated in a quest to find durable coatings to resist electrochemical decay of metals in industrial applications. Many polymeric composite coatings have proved to be resistant against aggressive environments. Two majo...

All-solid-state lithium-ion batteries using Li+-ion conducting ceramic electrolytes have been focused on as attractive future batteries for electric vehicles and renewable energy conversion systems because high safety can be realized due to non-flammability of ceramic electrolytes. In addition, a higher volumetric energy density than that of current lithium-ion batteries is expected since the a...

Revision rates of total hip arthroplasty have decreased after introducing total hip arthroplasty (THA) using ceramic component, since ceramic components could reduce components wear and osteolysis. The fracture of a ceramic component is a rare but potentially serious event. Thus, ceramic on polyethylene articulation is gradually spotlighted to reduce ceramic component fracture. There are a few ...

Inkjet printing is a potential contactless and mask-free additive manufacturing approach for solid oxide fuel cells. Here, highly stable cathode ink using La0.6Sr0.4Co0.2Fe0.8O3 was developed characterized with particle size analysis, viscosity, surface tension, density, thermal analysis. Both fresh 6-months stored inks showed excellent jetability behavior Z number of 2.77 3.45, respectively. T...

Abstract At present the majority of ozonizers in world are manufactured on basis a barrier discharge. But special ceramic electrodes used for such highly sensitive to humidity and pollution air supplied device. Typically, these devices use cartridges filter dehumidify air. In this research, corona discharge ozone generators were due sufficient energy efficiency ease implementation method synthe...

Background: Metal ceramic restorations are highly popular and are used for most of the crown and bridge restorations made today. Aims: To evaluate the translucency and fracture strength of two all-ceramic and traditional metal ceramic crowns. Materials and Methods: Thirty crowns of similar size and shape were constructed to fit a standard brass die. Ten crowns were manufactured from each of the...
