Journal ArticleDOI
Ceramic foams by powder processing
TL;DR: In this paper, a brief overview of the state of the art in cellular ceramic application, preparation and characterization is presented in order to introduce some new data concerning the elaboration of mullite and PZT foams by a replication and a bubble generation method, respectively.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mg-substituted hydroxyapatite nanopowders: Synthesis, thermal stability and sintering behaviour
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic investigation on Mg-substituted hydroxyapatite (Ca 10− x Mg x (PO 4 ) 6 (OH) 2 ) nanopowders produced by precipitation of Ca(NO 3 ) 2 ·4H 2 O and Mg(NO3 ) 2.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mechanical properties of porous ceramics in compression: On the transition between elastic, brittle, and cellular behavior
TL;DR: In this paper, the uniaxial compression behavior of porous ceramics within a wide range of porosity, varying from 30 to 75 vol%, was investigated and a transition between a typical brittle behavior at porosity fractions below 60 vol% and a damageable, cellular-like behavior at higher porosity fraction was confirmed by in situ compression tests in an X-ray tomograph.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis of zeolites from thermally activated kaolinite; some observations on nucleation and growth
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the molar Si/A1 ratio in metakaolinite (a solid more reactive than kaolinite) is equal to unity, and then corresponds to the composition of zeolite A.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sol–gel derived 45S5 bioglass: synthesis, microstructural evolution and thermal behaviour
TL;DR: In this work, the 45S5 bioactive glass was synthesized through an aqueous sol–gel method and the sintering behaviour was studied by dilatometry and the microstructural evolution was followed step-by-step, interrupting the thermal cycle at different temperatures.
