Bioglass (BG) was prepared by sol-gel method and the role of sintering temperatures (600, 700 and 800?C) on crystalline phase changes, bioactivity, erythrocyte andMG-63 cell line compatibility was investigated. Increase in sintering temperature from 600 to 800?C led to the secondary phase formation that was confirmed through structural analysis. Micrographics revealed the formation of nanorods (700?C) and nanoflake like (800?C) morphologies. Biocompatibility assay showed that, BG sintered at 600?C had optimal biocompatibility while better mechanical property was noted at 700?C. Altogether, the study demonstrated that increasing the sintering temperature will result in increased crystallinity which in turn resulted in the optimal biomineralization but decreased the biocompatibility. Hence, we demonstrated the importance of temperature during the processing of BG for various applications, as it affects many properties including bioactivity and compatibility.

Bioactive glass scaffolds have been developed with interconnected macropore networks, with pore diameters in excess of 500µm and apertures in excess of 100µm, by foaming sol-gel derived bioactive glasses. Bioactive glasses bond to bone by forming a hydroxycarbonate apatite (HCA) layer on their surface on contact with body fluid, which is similar to the composition of the apatite in bone. The aim of this work was to investigate the how changing the atomic structure of the glass affects HCA layer formation. Scaffolds were synthesised at 3 sintering temperatures and were characterised using 29Si and proton MAS-NMR, from which the silica network connectivity and Si-OH groups were quantified. The rate of HCA layer formation decreased as the number of Si-OH groups decreased, confirming the role of Si-OH groups in HCA layer formation.

NSCTO (Na0.5Sm0.5Cu3Ti4O12) ceramics have been prepared by reactive sintering solid-state reaction where the powder was prepared from the elemental oxides by mechanochemical milling followed by conventional sintering in the temperature range 1000–1100 °C. The influence of sintering temperature on the structural and dielectric properties was thoroughly studied. X-ray diffraction analysis (XRD) revealed the formation of the cubic NSCTO phase. By using the Williamson–Hall approach, the crystallite size and lattice strain were calculated. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) observations revealed that the grain size of NSCTO ceramics is slightly dependent on the sintering temperature where the average grain size increased from 1.91 ± 0.36 μm to 2.58 ± 0.89 μm with increasing sintering temperature from 1000 °C to 1100 °C. The ceramic sample sintered at 1025 °C showed the best compromise between colossal relative permittivity (ε′ = 1.34 × 103) and low dielectric loss (tanδ = 0.043) values at 1.1 kHz and 300 K. The calculated activation energy for relaxation and conduction of NSCTO highlighted the important role of single and double ionized oxygen vacancies in these processes.

The influence of copper addition (0.5–2 mol%) on the crystal structure, densification microstructure, and electrochemical properties of Ce0.8Gd0.2O1.9 synthesized in a one-step sol–gel combustion synthesis route has been studied. It has been found that Cu is very active as sintering aids, with a significative reduction of GDC firing temperature. A reduction of 500 °C with a small amount of copper (0.5 mol%) was observed achieving dense bodies with considerable ionic conductivities. Rietveld refined was used to investigate the crystal structure while relative density and microstructural examination were performed in the sintering temperature range of 1000–1200 °C after dilatometer analysis. High dense bodies were fabricated at the lowest sintering temperature, which promotes the formation of Ce0.8(1−x)Gd0.2(1−x)CuxO[1.9(1−x)+x] solid solution and the absence of secondary phase Cu-rich or the segregation or copper at the grain boundary. As compared to the pure GDC an improvement of total conductivity was achieved with a maximum for the highest copper content of 2.23·10−3–9.19·10−2 S cm−1 in the temperature range of 200–800 °C.

A ceramic solid-state electrolyte of lithium aluminum titanium phosphate with the composition of Li[Formula: see text]Al[Formula: see text]Ti[Formula: see text](PO[Formula: see text] (LATP) was synthesized by a sol–gel method using a pre-dissolved Ti-source. The annealed LATP powders were subsequently processed in a binder-free dry forming method and sintered under air for the pellet preparation. Phase purity, density, microstructure as well as ionic conductivity of the specimen were characterized. The highest density (2.77[Formula: see text][Formula: see text] with an ionic conductivity of [Formula: see text] (at 30[Formula: see text]C) was reached at a sintering temperature of 1100[Formula: see text]C. Conductivity of LATP ceramic electrolyte is believed to be significantly affected by both, the AlPO4 secondary phase content and the ceramic electrolyte microstructure. It has been found that with increasing sintering temperature, the secondary-phase content of AlPO4 increased. For sintering temperatures above 1000[Formula: see text]C, the secondary phase has only a minor impact, and the ionic conductivity is predominantly determined by the microstructure of the pellet, i.e. the correlation between density, porosity and particle size. In that respect, it has been demonstrated, that the conductivity increases with increasing particle size in this temperature range and density.
