Zirconia is widely used in prosthodontics due to its excellent biocompatibility, mechanical properties, and esthetic characteristics. This article reviews the fundamentals of sintering zirconia for prosthodontic applications. Various sintering techni...

In line with circular economy principles and the reduction of primary material exploitation, waste-to-energy (WtE) by-products such as bottom ash (BA) are increasingly being used as raw materials in cement and ceramics manufacturing. However, it is c...

Due to its good thermal conductivity and small thermal expansion coefficient, aluminum nitride (AlN) is an excellent material for thermal shock resistance. Recently, carbon (C) doping has emerged as a potential strategy for tailoring the properties o...

The stability of ceramic suspensions is a key factor in the preparation and shaping of ceramic bodies. The presented work offers an experimental determination of ceramics suspensions stability using the LUMiSizer analytical centrifuge, focusing on ki...

The study of the relationship between the composition and mechanical properties of structural ceramics based on zirconium, magnesium and aluminum oxides is an important scientific and technological task. In this study, ceramics of the composition x&m...

Metal–organic frameworks (MOFs) are promising materials for drug delivery due to their structural tunability and high surface area. This work reports on the synthesis of ZIF-8 for the in situ encapsulation of hesperidin, a flavonoid with poor w...

(YxGd3−x)(AlyGa5−y)O12:Ce and (LuxGd3−x)(AlyGa5−y)O12:Ce ceramics were synthesized for the first time by direct exposure of a powerful electron flux to a mixture of the corresponding oxide components. Five-component ceramics w...

Porous acicular mullite was fabricated at 1300 °C starting from Al2O3 and mixture of SiO2 and MoO3 obtained by previous oxidation of waste MoSi2. It was found that the presence of MoO3 favors formation of acicular (prism-like) mullite grains with...

This study reports the successful synthesis of pure cobalt-substituted calcium molybdate powders (Co-doped CaMoO4) through a co-precipitation method conducted at room temperature, without the use of surfactants or hazardous organic solvents. The form...

To mitigate the issue of accumulating glass waste, an advanced process has been developed for the production of glass foams via alkaline activation, employing industrial glass cullet as the primary raw material. This method contributes to circular ec...
