The morphologic, crystallographic, and optical properties were analyzed. Structural and electronic properties were compared to predictions obtained from computational calculations based on the density functional theory plus U approach (DFT+U). All these simulations provided additional data that could be used as a reference for material modeling and a better understanding of the experimental results. It was found that spray pyrolysis can be used to produce thin film ceramic samples (~300 nm) with low amounts (<5%) of Ni impurities substitutionally located at the cationic sites of the ZnO wurtzite host structure. The results of this investigation showed that an experimental and theoretical study aided in a better characterization of the thin films, and helped to outline a more robust model of the samples.","PeriodicalId":9824,"journal":{"name":"Cerâmica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67186639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The synthesis of the HAp/TCP@ZnO composite was carried out in two stages; first, the precipitation method was employed. In the second stage, the ZnO was incorporated into the powder produced in the first stage. After the characterization of the material, the presence of HAp in its X-ray diffractogram as the major phase and TCP as the secondary phase was verified; moreover, ZnO peaks were also detected. Tests in a simulated body fluid indicated that the composite was highly bioactive, whereas hemolysis tests confirmed its non-toxicity.

Different strategies of doping were followed to investigate the influence of donor and acceptor ions in addition to complex doping on structural and microstructure properties of the parent composition: for the soft ceramic, 2 mol% lanthanum-doped PZT at A-site (PLZT), whereas 2 mol% of scandium-doped PZT at B-site to produce hard ceramic (PSZT). In terms of complex doping, 2 mol% of both La 3+ and Sc 3+ substituted A-and B-site, respectively (PLSZT). All samples showed dense and homogeneous microstructures, except PSZT ceramic displayed a small grain size. X-ray diffraction results showed that the addition of Sc 3+ induced phase transformation and formation of a coexistence region consisting of tetragonal and rhombohedral phases.

They were pressed at 10 MPa, air-dried in the laboratory, and fired at 900 °C using two different clays: clay of Remila (CR) and clay of Adjiba (CA), Algeria. The mechanical, thermal, and physical properties of fired bricks were determined and compared to those of control bricks (0 wt%). According to the finding, the partial and total substitution of clay by MT reduced the sample’s thermal conductivity and bulk density. Thus, the MT increased the apparent porosity and the water absorption of clay brick while maintaining the compressive strength within the limits of the Algerian standards. This research revealed the possibility of producing bricks containing up to 100% by weight of MT with the required technical and environmental properties.","PeriodicalId":9824,"journal":{"name":"Cerâmica","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"67186557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Sample GO1 consisted of a 10-layer stack of oxidized graphene, while sample GO2 had 8 stacked layers. The difference between them was an extra washing and lyophilization process in the GO2 sample.
