The group of bioceramics includes hydroxyapatites, which, due to their specific properties, are widely used in biotechnology. These compounds exist in skeletons of human and animal bodies. A range of advantages of implants, which contain, among other things, hydroxyapatites, results also from the level of their porosity. Recent trends that focus on the improvement in poor strength properties of HA coatings include the introduction of solid solution of Y2O3 in ZrO2 (Khalil et al., 2007, “Consolidation and Mechanical Properties of Nanostructured Hydroxyapatite Bioceramics by High Frequency Induction Heat Sintering,” Mater. Sci. Eng., 456, pp. 368–372; Chevalier et al., 2004, “Critical Effect of Cubic Phase on Aging in 3 mol % Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia Ceramics for Hip Replacement Prothesis,” Biomaterials, 25, pp. 5539–5545; Inuzuka et al., 2004, “Hydroxyapatite-Deped Zirconia for Preparation of Biomedical Composites Ceramics,” Solid State Ionics, 172, pp. 509–513; Sung, Y. M., and Kim, D. H., 2003, “Crystallization Characteristics of Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia/Hydroxyapatite Composite Nanopowder,” J. Cryst. Growth, 254, pp. 411–417; Marciniak, J., 2002, Biomateriały, Wydawnictwo Politechniki Śląskiej, Gliwice, Poland; Park J., and Bronzino J. D., 2000, Biomaterials, CRC, Boca Raton, FL; Yoshida et al., 2006, “Fabrication of Structure-Controlled Hydroxyapatite/Zirconia Composite,” J. Eur. Ceram. Soc., 26, pp. 515–518). It seems essential to determine the resulting structural and strength properties in the aspect of further application of composites based on hydroxyapatite with the addition of the zirconia phase. The investigations involved ceramic composites based on HA with different amounts of the phase modified with ZrO2 yttrium dioxide.

In this paper, using ZrO2 and Ca (NO3)•4H2O as raw materials, we prepared a series of calica stabilized zirconia (CSZ) ceramics by pressureless sintering method. The results show that the relative densities of all sintered samples are above 90%, and the sintered samples are composed of cubic, tetragonal and monoclinic ZrO2, and the main phase is cubic ZrO2 and tetragonal ZrO2. The content of cubic phase increases with the increase of sintering temperature and adding CaO content. The grain size of the sintered samples is relatively uniform and some pores exist. Increasing the additive amount of CaO, the conductivity first rises and then decreases, and the conductivity value of the sample containing 5wt% CaO is the maximum. When the sintering temperature is up to 1600 oC, the conductivity of the sample containing 5wt% CaO is up to 0.016S•cm-1 at 800 oC. Furthermore, the conductivity of sintered samples is increasing with the increase of test temperature according to the Arrhenius equation.

The effect of yttria concentration (0-33.4 mol%), extraction rates (0.17, 0.33, 0.50, and 0.67 mm s-1), and the number of layers (up to four) on the phase content, surface defects, thickness, hardness, adhesion strength, and wear rate of yttria-stabilized zirconia coatings produced by sol-gel/dip-coating were studied for its use on thermolabile substrates. At 700°C, a metastable tetragonal phase ( t ″ ) was obtained even with 33.4 mol% yttria when heat treated for 24 hours; however, a fully cubic structure was attained by extending the heat treatment up to 48 hours as confirmed by Raman spectroscopy. Furthermore, it was necessary to use withdrawal speeds of at least 0.67 mm s-1 to produce defect-free coatings. Although the coatings were produced at low temperature, they showed 41% lower wear rate than steel and an adhesion strength of 30 MPa. Our work stresses the importance of the heat treatment history on the stabilization of the cubic phase in sol-gel YSZ coatings.

ABSTRACTSingle crystal yttria stabilized zirconia was implanted with 100 keV Ca+, Al+, and O2+ ions at fluences of 1015 to 6 × 1016 ions/cm2; . Blistering was observed at doses of 3 × 1016; O2;+ cm−2; and 6 × 1016; Al+ cm−2; but none was evident with Ca+. Knoop microhardness with a shallow indenter penetration depth peaked at a dose of 1016; ions/cm−2; for both Al+ and O2;+ but Ca+ produced no effect on microhardness. Vicker's microhardness with a much greater indenter penetration depth was not changed detectably by implantation but fracture toughness measurements from the same Vicker's indentations exhibited 10–23% increases at the highest O2+ doses and 20–25% increases at high Al+ doses. Annealing the highest implant doses at 1200° reduced the fracture toughness to pre-implant levels. Reflection electron diffraction showed that the surface had not been made amorphous by the 6 × 1016; Al+ dose as a well crystallized diffraction pattern was obtained.

X-ray diffraction from a synchrotron source was employed in an attempt to identify the crystal structures in zirconia ceramics produced by the sol-gel method. The particles of chemically precipitated zirconia, after calcination below 600 °C, are very fine, and have a diffracting particle size in the range of 7–15 nm. As the tetragonal and cubic structures of zirconia have similar lattice parameters, it is difficult to distinguish between the two. The tetragonal structure can be identified only by the characteristic splittings of the Bragg profiles from the “c” index planes. However, these split Bragg peaks from the tetragonal phase in zirconia overlap with one another due to particle size broadening. In order to distinguish between the tetragonal and cubic structures of zirconia, three samples were studied using synchrotron radiation source. The results indicated that a sample containing 13 mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia possessed the cubic structure with a0 = 0.51420 ± 0.00012 nm. A sample containing 6.5 mol% yttria stabilized zirconia was found to consist of a cubic phase with a0 = 0.51430 ± 0.00008 nm. Finally, a sample which was precipitated from a pH 13.5 solution was observed to have the tetragonal structure with a0 = 0.51441 ± 0.00085 nm and c0 = 0.51902 ± 0.00086.

Two kinds of powders of 3 mol. % yttria stabilized zirconia (3Y–TZP) with different particles sizes; one was 20 nm denoted by N whereas the other was 0.5 µm denoted by M, were mechanically mixed via ball milling machine using different amounts of N wt. % to obtain multiscale zirconia composite powder. Then the mixed powders were sintered by field assisted sintering technique (FAST). The effect of N content on the microstructure as well as on mechanical properties of zirconia is investigated. Results show that the microstructure of M completely surrounded by N emerged in zirconia composites, and tetragonal phase is presented in all the sintered samples. The obtained zirconia ceramics with 15 wt. % N own a highly dense structure (~ 99.9 % relative density) and high flexural strength of 813.59 MPa wherein a 15 % increase in flexural strength compared to zirconia ceramics without adding N, but the fracture toughness of the composites just lightly decreases. The improved flexural strength of the composites is caused by the multiscale effect.
