s: Abrasive jet micromachining is considered as a promising precision processing technology for brittle materials such as silicate glass and silicon nitride that are increasingly used in various applications. In this study, some polishing experiments are conducted for hard-brittle materials by a micro slurry jet. The results show that the morphology and the integrity of the material surface are improved greatly after polishing. The average roughness (Ra) value of the silicate glass decrease from 2.32μm to 0.35μm and the average roughness (Ra) value of the Si3N4 decrease from 2.63μm to 0.34μm. The material removal mechanism and the surface formation mechanism are studied. The factors to influence the surface morphology, the surface quality and the surface roughness are analyzed in order to take measures to improve the surface quality and reduce the surface roughness value.

Result Analysis

Objective: The tensile strength effects on the sandblasting of the abutment associated with a cementing technique are not well documented. The objective of this study is to analyze the tensile strength of prosthetic crowns cemented on standard and sandblasted abutments, using a cementing technique. Methods: Experimental groups were formed according to ce­menting technique (control and practice abutment technique) and prosthetic abutment roughness (standard and sandblas­ted), totaling forty specimens. The crowns were cemented with Zinc Phosphate cement. Statistical analysis was conducted with an α at 0.05. Results: Considering the cementation techniques analysis, there were no statistically significant differen­ces between the groups, with mean tensile strength values of 157.83±22.16 N for the control technique, and 159.95±46.40 N for the practice abutment technique on the standard surface. Result analysis of the control technique (626.23±34.80 N) and practice abutment technique (642.62±94.00 N) indicated no significant differences on the sandblasted surface. Consi­dering the surface roughness analysis, significant differences were observed, with values of 157.83±22.16 N for the control technique/standard surface group and 626.23±34.80 N for the control technique/sandblasted surface group. Significant differences were observed in the practice abutment technique/standard surface group with 159.95±46.40 N values, compa­red to the 642.62±94.00 N value for the practice abutment technique/sandblasted group. Conclusions: The practice abut­ment cementing technique showed no significant differences with the control technique, regarding to the tensile strength, in the two surfaces (standard and sandblasted) used in the study. The sandblasting of prosthetic abutments led to a signifi­cant increase on the tensile strength considering the two studied cementation techniques.

Scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) has been used to characterize the surface roughness of nonlinear optical (NLO) polymers. A review of STM of polymer surfaces is included in this volume. The NLO polymers are instrumental in the development of electrooptical waveguide devices, the most fundamental of which is the modulator. The most common modulator design is the Mach Zehnder interferometer, in which the input light is split into two legs and then recombined into a common output within the two dimensional waveguide. A π phase retardation, resulting in total light extinction at the output of the interferometer, can be achieved by changing the refractive index of one leg with respect to the other using the electrooptic effect. For best device performance, it is essential that the NLO polymer exhibit minimal surface roughness in order to reduce light scattering. Scanning tunneling microscopy, with its high lateral and vertical resolution, is capable of quantifying the NLO polymer surface roughness induced by processing. Results are presented below in which STM was used to measure the surface roughness of films produced by spin-coating NLO-active polymers onto silicon substrates.

Cracking Catalysts

For this study we have used a contact mode atomic force microscope (AFM) to study to topography of fluidized cracking catalysts (FCC), before and after contamination with 5% vanadium. We selected the AFM because of its ability to well characterize the surface roughness of materials down to the atomic level. It is believed that the cracking in the FCCs occurs mainly on the catalysts top 10-15 μm suggesting that the surface corrugation could play a key role in the FCCs microactivity properties. To test this hypothesis, we chose vanadium as a contaminate because this metal is capable of irreversibly destroying the FCC crystallinity as well as it microporous structure. In addition, we wanted to examine the extent to which steaming affects the vanadium contaminated FCC. Using the AFM, we measured the surface roughness of FCCs, before and after contamination and after steaming.We obtained our FCC (GRZ-1) from Davison. The FCC is generated so that it contains and estimated 35% rare earth exchaged zeolite Y, 50% kaolin and 15% binder.
