The combined phase-inversion and sintering method not only produces ceramic hollow fibre membranes with much lower fabrication costs than conventional methods, but these membranes can also be designed to have greatly reduced transport resistances for filtration processes. The bottleneck of this technique is the weak mechanical property of the fibres, due to the small dimensions and the brittle ...

• Ceramic membranes can be used for biogas upgrading to biomethane. This membrane pore size determines the flow mechanism of components. Reduced enhance mass transport and selectivity membrane. Supplement depleting energy resources stringent environmental laws regarding atmospheric emissions greenhouse gases, development clean renewable sources has been a great issue. Worldwide, usage is steadi...

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 ...

The detection of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and visualization of spermatozoa from forensic-type samples containing semen exposed to simulated gastric juice was investigated as a support for forensic practice. Samples of simulated gastric juice mixed with semen were prepared and incubated for up to 4 h at 37 degrees C. Samples were deposited on cotton cloth and on ceramic plates and allowed...

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...

The special channels and intrinsic defects within GO laminates make it a very potential candidate for gas separation in recent years. Herein, the gas separation performance of GO membranes prepared on the surface of ceramic α-Al2O3 hollow fiber were investigated systematically. The microstructures of ceramic hollow fiber supported GO membranes were optimized by adjusting operation conditions. A...

Ceramic membranes for wastewater treatment are usually fine filters prepared by sintering of alumina, titania or zirconia powders at ultra-high temperatures and have an asymmetric cross-section using the same material a combination three giving base support active layer forming membrane. The Carman–Kozeny (C–K) Hagen–Poiseuille (H–P) transport equations been used to predict water permeability c...

To systematically review the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compare the survival rates and complications of all-ceramic fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with those of metal-ceramic FDPs. Eligible studies were retrieved in relevant electronic databases from their inception to June 8th, 2016. Then, quality of the included studies was assessed using Cochrane Collaboration’s tool. Heterogene...

OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to examine not only the incidence but also the impact of noise from two types of total hip replacement articulations: ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene. METHODS We performed a case-controlled study comparing subjective and objective questionnaire scores of patients receiving a ceramic-on-ceramic or a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement by a si...
