In the present research work, fabrication of YSZ-CNTs composite system through alkoxide sol-gel processing was evaluated, in an attempt to improve its mechanical properties. Nanocomposites containing 0.5–2 wt% MWCNTs were then fabricated through the hydrolysis and condensation processing of the solution mixtures containing alkoxide and inorganic precursors along with the functionalized CNTs under basic condition and its final sintering by the SPS technique at 1400°C. Results showed the formation of a nanocomposite powder based on pure 3YSZ matrix, with well dispersion of CNTs and its good adhesion to the matrix particles in composite containing 0.5 wt% CNTs. The fracture toughness of sintered samples showed around 24% increase for the composite containing 0.5 wt% CNTs. The fracture toughness, hardness, and density decreased due to the agglomeration of CNTs over 0.5 wt%. Toughening mechanisms including pullout and crack bridging were observed on the polished and fractured surfaces.

Effect of Ti (C,N) based cermets granule on the microstructure, mechanical properties, sintering and fracture behavior of Ti (C,N) based cermets was investigated. Results show that the Ti (C,N) based cermets granules distribute in the matrix homogeneously. A nanoindentation study was performed on hard phase and binder phase in the matrix and granule. With the increase of granules content, sintering properties is worse. With the increase of granules content, transverse rupture strength (TRS) and relative density decrease gradually, while the hardness has an opposite trend. The fracture toughness increases firstly with increasing granule, and then decreases with the further increase of granules. Higher fracture toughness of the cermets is mainly owing to the crack branch and higher fracture energy of coarse granule.

Coating Fracture

The reliability of coatings that are used in industrial applications critically depends on their mechanical properties. Nanoindentation and scratch testing are well-established techniques to measure some of these properties, namely the elastic modulus and hardness of coatings. In this paper, we investigate the possibility of also assessing the coating fracture toughness and the energy of adhesion between the coating and the substrate using indentation and scratch testing. Various existing and new methods are discussed, and they are illustrated by measurements on particle-filled sol-gel coatings on glass. All methods are based on the occurrence of cracking, and they are therefore only applicable to coating systems that act like brittle materials and exhibit cracking during indentation and scratching. The methods for determining the fracture toughness give comparable results, but the values still differ to within about 50%. The values of the adhesion energy obtained from different measurements are consistent, but it remains uncertain to which extent the obtained values are quantitatively correct. The results show that the methods used are promising, but more research is needed to obtain reliable quantitative results.

There are many methods widely applied in the engineering of biomaterials to improve the mechanical properties of the dental composites. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of modification of dental composites with liquid rubber on their mechanical properties, degree of conversion, viscosity, and cytotoxicity. Both flow and packable composite consisted of a mixture of Bis-GMA, TEGDMA, UDMA, and EBADMA resins reinforced with 60 and 78 wt.% ceramic filler, respectively. It was demonstrated that liquid rubber addition significantly increased the fracture toughness by 9% for flow type and 8% for condensable composite. The influence of liquid rubber on flexural strength was not statistically significant. The addition of the toughening agent significantly reduced Young’s modulus by 7% and 9%, respectively, while increasing deformation at breakage. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations allowed to determine the mechanisms of toughening the composites reinforced with ceramic particles. These mechanisms included bridging the crack edges, blocking the crack tip by particles and dissipation of fracture energy by deflection of the cracks on larger particles. The degree of conversion increased after modification, mainly due to a decrease in the matrix resin viscosity. It was also shown that all dental materials were nontoxic according to ISO 10993-5, indicating that modified materials have great potential for commercialization and clinical applications.

Fiber Matrix

The mechanical properties of the matrix and the fiber/matrix interface have a relevant influence over the mechanical properties of a composite. In this work, a glass fiber-reinforced composite is manufactured using a carbon nanotubes (CNTs) doped epoxy matrix. The influence of the CNTs on the material mechanical behavior is evaluated on the resin, on the fiber/matrix interface, and on the composite. On resin, the incorporation of CNTs increased the hardness by 6% and decreased the fracture toughness by 17%. On the fiber/matrix interface, the interfacial shear strength (IFSS) increased by 22% for the nanoengineered composite (nFRC). The influence of the CNTs on the composite behavior was evaluated by through-thickness compression, short beam flexural, and intraply fracture tests. The compressive strength increased by 6% for the nFRC, attributed to the rise of the matrix hardness and the fiber/matrix IFSS. In contrast, the interlaminar shear strength (ILSS) obtained from the short beam tests was reduced by 8% for the nFRC; this is attributed to the detriment of the matrix fracture toughness. The intraply fracture test showed no significant influence of the CNTs on the fracture energy; however, the failure mode changed from brittle to ductile in the presence of the CNTs.

Purpose The present paper aims to synthesize SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ green-emitting phosphor nano-pigment powder using a combination of citrate – gel processing and microwave-assisted heating route. Design/methodology/approach Microwave-assisted citrate – gel processing of SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ green-emitting phosphor nano-pigment powder has been carried out by varying the pH and the molar ratio of H3Cit/Al3+ + Sr2+ +Eu2++Dy3+ (f/o). X-ray diffraction analysis showed that the produced powders were nearly pure SrAl2O4 phase, in which the SrAl2O4 host phase has the maximum fraction of green-emitting monoclinic SrAl2O4 phase. Findings Spectrophotometer results revealed that two excitation peaks appeared at 238 and 339 nm and an emission peak at 515 nm. The crystallite size of the green-emitting phosphor nano-pigment powder was about 37 nm as determined by Scherrer’s formula. The best conditions for formation of monoclinic SrAl2O4 phase with high purity were achieved at pH of precursor solution equal to 7 and the molar ratio of f/o equal to 3. Originality/value The present research work for the first time (to the best of the authors’ knowledge) has used microwave and sol–gel combination techniques to produce green-emitting phosphor nano-pigment powder (without using any other heating system).

Remarkable Improvement

AbstractFully densified WC-A12O3 composites were successfully consolidated by both hot-pressing and pressureless sintering. The optimum hot-pressing condition for the composites was 1700°C for 2h under a pressure of 40MPa. A remarkable improvement in mechanical properties was achieved in the composite system, especially in WC-30 and -70vol%A12O3, compared to the monolithic WC and A12O3 ceramics. The addition of MgO as a sintering aid had a great effect on the properties of the composites. WC-30vol%A12O3 composite with 1.Owt% MgO addition exhibited flexural strength higher than 1000MPa up to 1200°C, fracture toughness; KIC≥7MPa√m, and hardness; HV ≥2450. In pressureless sintering with the addition of MgO as a sintering aid and subsequent HIP treatment, the WC-30vol%A12O3 composite exhibited the flexural strength higher than 900MPa up to 1200°C.
