The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect printing parameters on physical and mechanical properties additively manufactured ceramics (alumina zirconia). Sample parts were obtained by extrusion-based additive manufacturing a ceramic-binder mixture subsequent post-processing (debinding sintering). Their (microhardness, flexural strength, toughness) measured correlated with parameters...

In this paper, the flexural behaviour of M30 grade basalt fibred concrete slabs made with fibre reinforced polymer rebars are studied and compared steel rebars. The optimum percentage is 0.3% for 50mm length fibres. Due to high particle packing density in micro cracks prevented due enhanced fatigue stress dissipation capacity. Addition fibres enhances energy absorbtion capacity or toughness the...

Lead zirconate titanate (PZT) as a piezoelectric ceramic has been used widely in the fields of electronics, biomedical engineering, mechatronics and thermoelectric. Although, the electrical properties of PZT ceramics is a major considerable, but the mechanical properties such as fracture strength and toughness should be improved for many applications. In this study, lead monoxide, zirconium ...

To enhance wheat straw compatibility with the polylactic acid (PLA) matrix, several graphene-based materials (GBMs) derivatives, including graphene nanoplatelets, oxide, and nano graphite particles a constant fraction of 0.1 wt.-%, were employed for surface functionalisation straw. Wheat quality was assessed by comparing PLA bio-based composites' mechanical thermal performance without GBM funct...
