How does zirconia processing affect the degree of tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation (t ⟶ m) and the development and wettability of the surface? One hundred and twenty-four samples made of sintered zirconium were divided into four g...
This study systematically examines the fluidity, setting time, mechanical properties, and microstructural evolution of metakaolin-based geopolymer grouting materials with a relatively high water-to-solid (W/S) ratio window. A four-factor, three-level...
Canal wall down mastoidectomy (CWD) effectively eradicates cholesteatoma and chronic otitis media but frequently results in a problematic open mastoid cavity. Mastoid obliteration aims to reduce cavity-related morbidity. Bioceramic materials, includi...
Sluggish oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) remains a critical barrier to advancing intermediate-temperature electrochemical energy devices. Here, we demonstrate that strain engineering in two platforms, epitaxial thin films and freestanding membranes,...
This study focuses on preparing mullite grogs derived from selected waste materials and kaolin treated with advanced technologies to achieve high thermal resistance and low thermal expansion. The investigated waste materials include dust removal RON,...
The development of lithium-ion batteries necessitates cathode materials that possess excellent mechanical and thermal properties in addition to electrochemical performance. As a prominent functional ceramic, the properties of spinel LiMn2O4 are gover...
This manuscript describes the development of a nano-sized synthetic smectic clay hydrogel (LAP) that enables controlled oxygen delivery, making it a promising candidate for treating skin wound infections and promoting healing. LAP is an ingredient in...
This in vitro investigation evaluated the marginal fit of three pressable glass-ceramic onlay materials: a conventional monolithic lithium disilicate (IPS e.max Press, EM, ivoclar vivadent AG, Schaan, Liechtenstein) and two zirconia-reinforced glass-...
Highly filled (78 wt.%) alumina filaments with various (0.05, 0.10, 0.25 vol.%) graphene oxide concentration for Fused Filament Fabrication (FFF) were obtained. In order to evaluate the effect of graphene oxide on density, microstructure, and hardnes...
Three processes for the production of ceramics close to stoichiometric MgAl2O4 are benchmarked against each other. The traditional ceramic route is based on mostly crystalline starting powder, which is converted into ceramic via shaping and heat trea...
