Polymer matrix composite materials that can emit radiation in the far-infrared region of the spectrum are receiving increasing attention due to their ability to significantly influence biological processes. This study reports on the far-infrared emissivity property of composite films based on far-infrared ceramic powder. X-ray fluorescence spectrometry, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, ...

We report on the synthesis, morphology, chemically and structurally of TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure. The TiO2-NiO-SiO2 nanostructure was synthesized by a method based on the sol-gel method, by the simultaneous gelation of all cations. The coatings were deposited on dried soda-lime glass slides by spin coating. Composite powders and coating on glass hav...

the aim of this study was to compare the shear bond strength (sbs) of resin modified glass ionomer (rmgi) and composite resin for bonding metal and ceramic brackets.eighty-eight human premolars extracted for orthodontic purposes were divided into 4 groups (n=22). in groups 1 and 2, 22 metal and ceramic brackets were bonded using composite resin (transbond xt), respectively. twenty-two metal and...

This study evaluated the repair bond strength of a nanohybrid resin composite to a novel CAD/CAM hybrid ceramic based on four intraoral ceramic repair systems. Vita Enamic (VE) CAD/CAM hybrid ceramic was used in this study. Specimens were divided into five test groups according to the repair method performed on the ceramic surface: Gr C (No treatment; control); Gr CZ (Cimara Zircon); Gr PR (Por...

In the present article a 45Mo-45Cu-10Al2O3 (wt%) nano-composite was produced by mechanical alloying, shaped cold pressing then hot at 950 °C. Our aim to investigate effect of different ball powder ratio (BPR) on particle size and shape, as well material composition. Investigations were done with XRD, SEM for pressed specimens Brinell hardness measurement. Lower BPR resulted in nano-sized crysta...

The purpose of this study is to synthesize nano-grained Calcium Hydroxyapatite (HAp) through slip casting technique. For this, hydroxyapatite powders were synthesized using two methods, wet chemical method and Ammoniacal method. The as-prepared powders and calcined powders were characterized using XRD, FTIR, to study the phases of the powders. The hydroxyapatite powder calcined at 1000°C for 2h...

Among novel structural materials, composites are attractive because they combine the properties of two o more individual components. As an important example, in alumina-zirconia ceramic composite system, the incorporation of α-Al2O3 into stabilized zirconia increases significantly the mechanical and thermal properties. In this work an alumina-zirconia ceramic composite have been prepared with d...

Barium titanate ceramic powders have been incorporated in polyamide 11 to form homogeneous dispersion of particles in the matrix. Barium titanate/polyamide 11 nanocomposites have been synthesized using a solvent casting method with ultrasonic stirring to homogeneously disperse inclusions in the matrix. Composites with volume fraction of barium titanate / ranging from 0.01 to 0.4 were elaborated...

In this work, ceramic hollow fiber supported polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) composite membranes were developed by dip-coating PDMS layer on the surface of macroporous ceramic hollow fiber support. By controlling the properties of polymer solution and ceramic hollow fiber, high-quality ceramic hollow fiber supported PDMS composite membranes were fabricated for pervaporation (PV) recovery of biobuta...
