The symmetrical cell with a configuration of electrode|BCZY64|electrodewas fabricated using dry-pressingmethod for the electrolyte substrate and spin-coating technique for the cathode layer. The proton conduction in the composite cathode increases as the amount of proton-conducting phase increases as verified by the water uptake measurement performed via thermogravimetric analysis. The thickness of the composite cathode layer is about 15 ?m as observed by a scanning electron microscope and exhibits a well-connected particle network with sufficient porosity for oxidant diffusion (20-30%). The electrochemical performance of the symmetrical cell was investigated by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy in humidified air. The area-specific resistance (ASR) values of the tested cathodes follow the order of L7B3 < L10B0 < L5B5 < L3B7 and are 0.07 < 0.24 < 0.30 < 0.52W?cm2 at 700?C, respectively. The correlation between the cathode performance and cathode composition was investigated and the corresponding mechanism was systematically postulated.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68582370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The root canal of an extracted tooth was filled with the ?-TCP/FAp cement containing 5 wt.% of FAp and relatively strong adhesion between the cement and dentine was observed after 48h.

With increasing oxidation temperature, the surface morphology of two ceramics showed a change from acicular to flaky-like and then to granular features. With the addition of nanosized SiC particles, the oxidation resistance of the ceramics was remarkably enhanced above 1100?C. This is attributed to the formation of a dense oxide layer composed of Al2O3, SiO2 and mullite, which could cover the whole matrix and suppress further penetration of oxygen. Due to the dense oxide layer, the oxidation kinetics of the 8 wt.% SiC-AlON composites conformed to a parabolic law, while that of the pure AlON conformed to a linear law.

In this work, ceramic manufacturing using photocurable slurries was tested in a low-cost vat photopolymerization printer and in silicone moulds for UV-casting replication, with the latter approach still scarcely explored in the literature. Both processes were able to produce ceramic parts. The UV-casting replication was able to work with more viscous photocurable ceramic slurries and proved more suitable for the manufacturing of ceramic parts with larger cross-sections, providing pieces with improved flexural strength to those produced by additive manufacturing. This work presents the possibility of UV-casting photosensitive slurries to manufacture ceramics, an approach that could be easily adopted without high equipment costs.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68580505","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results show that with the increase of the sputtering power (PTa) for Ta target, the amount of Ta added to TiN lattice increases, resulting in a slight distortion of TiN lattice and stress transformation in the film. Correspondingly, the optical and electrical properties of the film changed. Raman spectrum was deconvoluted into five Lorentz peaks in the range of 50-1400 cm?1 and a new Raman peak appeared in all samples due to the substitution of Ta for Ti. The analysis of deconvolution results shows that the peak positions of different phonon modes and FWHM change, which may be related to the change of stress in the thin films caused by adding Ta to TiN lattice. The sample prepared with power of 50W has the maximum infrared emissivity of 1.35 and 0.43 at 2.5 and 25 ?m wavelengths, respectively, indicating that (Ti,Ta)N film is promising candidate for replacing TiN in Low-E glass.","PeriodicalId":20596,"journal":{"name":"Processing and Application of Ceramics","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2022-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"68581322","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
