Microporous Calcium Titanium Phosphate glass-ceramics have many uses in high-tech industries. For example, they have applications in catalysts industry. In this study, different molar percentages of alumina were added to a glass with P2O5 30, CaO 45, TiO2 25 (mol%) composition. The samples were melted at 1350°C and crystallization heat treatment was performed on...

Transparent materials with high strength and toughness are highly demanded as engineering for consumer electronic, structural, optical applications. In this article number 2200350 by Qiang Fu co-workers, a simple bioinspired approach is reported to achieve combination of fracture (KIC = 2.0 MPa·m1/2) transparency in lithium disilicate/apatite glass-ceramic through the creation an acicular cryst...

OBJECTIVE The present study, divided into two parts, aimed to compare the strength, fracture toughness and microstructure of a range of all-ceramic materials. In part I, three hot-pressed glass-ceramics (IPS-Empress, Empress 2 and a new experimental ceramic) and alumina glass-infiltrated ceramics (In-Ceram Alumina), processed by both slip casting and dry pressing, were compared. METHODS Tensi...
