Characterization of cellular ceramics for high-temperature applications

Loadable TiO2 scaffolds—A correlation study between processing parameters, micro CT analysis and mechanical strength

“…Similar results have been found in other studies when using the polymer sponge method with Al 2 O 3 slurries. 31,32 The solid content in the slurry in our study did not positively correlate with the mechanical strength of the scaffold, but was found to be crucial in terms of providing an open porosity.…”

Silver Nanoparticle Surface Functionalized Alumina Filters for Disinfection of Potable Water

“…In the range of diffraction angle between 15 and 80°, a total of 4 diffraction peaks for metallic silver were identified. Positions and lattice parameter of these peaks are consistent with that of metallic silver, according to the literature [18,21,22] and this fact indicates that this route was successful in obtaining Ag 0 . SEM images of the sputtering samples (Fig.…”

Cellular Ceramics in Combustion Environments

“…[27] Several investigations have been done on ZrO 2 . [28][29][30][31] The properties of pure ZrO 2 are very interesting, but the phase change from monoclinic to tetragonal at 1 170 8C during heating and from tetragonal to monoclinic at 950 8C during cooling is connected with a change in volume of about 5-8%. [32] To prevent this, the tetragonal ZrO 2 phase has to be stabilized by sintering additives like yttrium, for example, entailing acceptance of a reduction in the operating temperature.…”
