After the addition of ZrO₂ to a glass-ceramic composition, it can persist in the residual glassy phase, facilitate nucleation, and/or precipitate as ZrO₂ or another zirconate crystalline phase. Also, ZrO₂-reinforced or ZrO₂-toughened glass-ceramics can be designed as composites. In this article, the term “ZrO₂-containing glass-ceramics” encompasses all these scenarios in which ZrO₂ is present. Such glass-ceramics offer a wide range of applications in modern industries, including but not limited to architecture, optics, dentistry, medicine, and energy. Since S. Donald Stookey's discovery of glass-ceramics in the early 1950s, the most important scientific efforts reported in the literature are reviewed. ZrO₂ is commonly added to glass-ceramics to promote nucleation. As a result, the role of ZrO₂ in structural modification of residual glass and stimulating the nucleation in glass-ceramic is first discussed. ZrO₂ can also be designed into the main crystalline phase of glass-ceramics, contributing achieving super high fracture toughness above 4 MPa·m^0.5. Experimental and computational studies are reviewed in detail to elucidate how the transformation toughening and other mechanisms help to achieve such high values of fracture toughness. Sintered and glass-ceramic matrix composites also show promise, where ZrO₂ contributes to improved stability and mechanical properties. Finally, we hope this article will provoke interest in glass-ceramic materials in both the scientific and industrial communities so that their tremendous technological potential in developing, for example, tough, thermally stable, transparent, and biologically compatible materials can be realized more widely.</p>","PeriodicalId":13948,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science","volume":"6 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ces2.10200","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139385818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Differential scanning calorimetry and thermogravimetric analysis were used to investigate both the kinetics of PMMA decomposition and the influence of β-SiC nanoparticles upon the mechanisms of PCS cure, pyrolysis, and partial crystallization. As the crystallization temperature was systematically increased, the inter-pore ligament structure coarsened and nanopores developed within the ligaments between the β-SiC nanoparticles. The foam's Young's modulus and compressive strength at first increased with crystallization temperature, reaching a maximum after processing at 1300˚C. However, further increases in temperature resulted in a rapid fall in both foam modulus and compressive strength. To gain insight into the fundamental processes responsible for the overall (macroscale) mechanical properties, models for open/closed cell foams were inverted and used in conjunction with the measured foam density, Young's modulus, and compressive strength to estimate the mechanical properties of the inter-pore ligaments. This procedure indicated that changes to the ligament properties were responsible for the observed dependence of the foam mechanical properties upon crystallization temperature.</p>","PeriodicalId":13948,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Ceramic Engineering & Science","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-12-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/ces2.10196","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139169397","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In terms of the sustainability of concrete components, the biggest challenge is the high energy consumption and associated greenhouse gas emissions in the production of Portland cement. A common strategy used by the construction industry to improve sustainability is to use residuals to develop lower-emission geopolymer concretes that eliminate high-emission cement-based concretes. Because construction and demolition waste, at 3 trillion tons per year worldwide, also represents an environmental risk, this work will investigate the suitability of geopolymers based on real construction waste. In the course of the investigations, the manufactured geopolymer samples are examined for the material parameters relevant to building materials, namely compressive strength, flexural strength, raw density, total porosity, and thermal conductivity. The setting behavior and the forming structures are investigated by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction analysis and scanning electron microscopy.

Phosphate geopolymer binders with Ca/P molar ratios ranging from 0.49 to 0.80 were prepared. Then the early and late age physical properties were then determined. The hardened binder was characterized by various analytical techniques involving XRD, TGA-DSC, and SEM-EDS. The results showed that the use of CH decreases the initial setting time from several hours to less than 5 min. At the same time, the 1 d compressive strength was increased from 0 to 15 MPa with the increase in the Ca/P molar ratio. Moreover, the slow dissolution rate of volcanic ash was responsible for the low strength at an early age but beneficial to improving the geopolymerisation with time. This favored the high strength of the control phosphate geopolymer, which reached 52.5 MPa at 56d and was higher than those with CH (28.5–45.2 MPa). However, the control phosphate geopolymer had poor water resistance, with strength retention ranging from 21%–57% compared to 76%–90% for phosphate geopolymer with CH. This is because of the leaching of the reactive phase underwater that inhibits further reaction progress.
