We evaluated the biological effects of implant abutments made from ceria-stabilized zirconia/alumina nanocomposite (Ce-TZP/Al2O3) with surface roughness variations using human gingival fibroblasts (HGF-1) in transmucosal region. Two types titanium (Ti) and Ce-TZP/Al2O3 disks different profiles were prepared (Ra0.9 Ra0.02). Surface properties SEM, EDX, wettability analysis. Biological parameters...

Catalysts based on zirconia and alumina-supported tungsten oxides (3–18 wt% W) with a small loading of platinum (0.3 Pt) were selected to study the influence W loading, support type, preparation methods hydroisomerization n-dodecane. The alumina- zirconia-supported catalysts show different catalytic properties that play an important role in n-dodecane conversion. Specific surface area acidity a...

Although in recent years, welding of polymers has been developed but welding of polycarbonates is still faced with serious challenges such as improving the quality of welded section. In the present study, mechanical properties of polycarbonate friction stir welded samples with different nano alumina content were investigated. For this purpose, firstly polycarbonate (as matrix) was melt compound...

HAAlumina nanocomposite is biocompatible and has desirable mechanical and physical properties. Less cost, simple synthesis method, and fast production are the added advantages of this nanocomposite. Thus HA coatings on the surface of alumina substrates are used to combine excellent bioactivity of HA with superior mechanical properties of the alumina substrates. One of the elements associated wi...

Partially stabilized zirconia (PSZ) agglomerate toughened alumina has been prepared by the "deflocculation-flocculation" technique, using 2 and 3 mol. % Y2O3-doped zirconia powders. Samples containing up to about 30 vol.% zirconia were obtained. The resulting microstructure seems to be mainly influenced by the physical properties of the starting powders, e.g. agglomerate size and the specific s...

nanocomposite of zro2/zno was prepared under ultrasonic irradiation by sol gel process from directly mixing zirconium and zinc gels, and the mixture was placed under ultrasonic irradiation for 2 hours then aging time the filtrated composite gel was calcinated at 500°c for 3h in furnace. the precursor sol of zirconium was prepared from an aqueous solution of zrcl4 and zinc acetate dihydrated was...

A series of microstructured, supported platinum (Pt) catalyst films (supported on single-crystal yttria-stabilized zirconia) and an appropriate Pt catalyst reference system (supported on single-crystal alumina) were fabricated using pulsed laser deposition and ion-beam etching. The thin films exhibit area-specific lengths of the three-phase boundary (length of three-phase boundary between the P...

Ceramics long history in biomedical field is related to their high biocompatibility and mechanical properties. Precisely, for joint replacements, wear resistance fundamental, so advanced ceramics as alumina zirconia are preferred. Developments ceramic additive manufacturing allow dense parts with improved properties shape accuracy. This paper focuses on the tribological analysis of stereolithog...

Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are used in gas turbine engines to protect engine hot-section components in the harsh combustion environments, and extend component lifetimes. Infrared Thermography method has been selected for obtaining thermal images and studying the TBCs of Alumina, Zirconia and Alumina+Titanium oxide coated on the base plate of Titanium, by measuring the back wall temperature...
