Lanthanum-based double perovskite oxides (DPOs) have attracted considerable attention owing to their structural tunability, defect chemistry, and redox-active transition-metal centers, making them promising candidates for energy-related applications....
The effects of incorporating Nb2O5 or Ta2O5, both intermediate oxides, on the structure and ion release behavior of calcium borate-based sol−gel glasses [(70 − x)B2O3-30CaO-xM2O5, x = 0, 2.5, 5, and 7.5 (mol%), and M = Nb or Ta] were inve...
This study evaluated the effects of CAD/CAM material thickness and translucency on the Vickers microhardness and bottom-to-top hardness ratio of adhesive and self-adhesive resin cements. Eighty specimens (n = 10 per group) were prepared using RelyX U...
Hydrothermal hydrolysis of TiOSO4 is a critical step in recovering titanium from sulfuric-acid leachates derived from titanium-bearing blast furnace slag (TBFS). This research examined the effects of Mg, Al, and Fe impurities on TiOSO4 hydrolysis and...
The long-term storage stability of photocurable alumina suspensions is a critical factor in Digital Light Processing (DLP), yet conventional sedimentation tests provide only limited information about future changes in suspension behavior. This work e...
The study of heterogeneous exceptional objects preserved in different places implies the use of various instruments. Here, we compare the manufacturing techniques of two rare enameled glasses (a box and a vase) made for the Kangxi Emperor (r. 1661&nd...
Alumina (Al2O3) ceramic sealing rings have attracted considerable attention in power battery packaging applications due to their excellent chemical stability, electrical insulation, and mechanical properties. In this study, 95% Al2O3 ceramics were fa...
The preparation of TiO2 microspheres by spray drying followed by controlled sintering was investigated. Starting from commercial rutile TiO2 nanoparticles dispersed in water, spherical microspheres with broad size distributions were produced by adjus...
Prosthetic restorations made of titanium and its alloys are often veneered with ceramics. While Co-Cr or Ni-Cr alloys are subjected to high-temperature oxidation before ceramic application, this is not possible for titanium due to its high reactivity...
Natural fiber-reinforced geopolymer and alkali-activated composites have emerged as promising alternatives for reducing the environmental impact of cement-based materials; however, their long-term durability remains insufficiently understood. This sy...
Construction and demolition waste (C&DW) has been investigated both for radionuclide sorption and as a precursor for geopolymer materials. However, research on C&DW-derived geopolymers has primarily focused on synthesis and characterization,...
A novel lithium disilicate glass-ceramic modified with Pyrex-derived borosilicate glass and antimony oxide was developed to improve mechanical performance while maintaining chemical stability. The material was fabricated by oxide mixing, melt-quenchi...
The effect of Co3O4 concentration on the phase composition, surface morphology, geometric density, estimated porosity, compressive strength, and resistive superconducting transition of YBa2Cu3O7−δ ceramics was comparatively investigated....
A CMY palette of ceramic pigments was synthesized using both microwave-assisted firing (800 W, 30 min) and conventional electric firing (1000 °C for 3 h). For the allochromatic vanadium-zircon system (including the non-mineralized green and halid...
