Surface-related characteristics (growth of surface layer and crystal preferred orientation) and the resulting mechanical strength of apatite-containing glass-ceramics in the system MgO–CaO–SiO2−P2O5 were investigated. The variations of surface-layer thickness and crystal preferred orientation were explained by a criterion considering both the surface and bulk nucleation of apatite phase. Glass-ceramics with a fairly high strength of 250–410 MPa could be obtained by an appropriate two-step heat treatment. The high strength in the present study is closely related to the growth of the surface layer, which might result in surface compressive-stress.

A silica-free MgO–CaO–BaO–Al2O3–ZrO2 glass was converted into glass-ceramic by adding zirconia as a nucleating agent. The crystallization and properties of the glass-ceramics were investigated. It was found that ZrO2 is an efficient nucleating agent for the present calcium aluminate glass. Addition of an appropriate amount of ZrO2 changed the crystallization behavior from surface nucleation to internal nucleation. The primary crystalline phase was Ca3Al2O6, which exhibited bulk nucleation. When the crystallizing time was increased, BaAl2O4 formed as a surface layer that grew from the surface into the interior of the sample. The hardness was increased when the parent glass was converted into glass-ceramics. The glass-ceramics without BaAl2O4 surface layer have visible-to-infrared transparency comparable with the parent glass. The transparency was substantially reduced after the development of the surface layer.

Lasers have been well integrated in clinical dentistry for the last two decades, providing clinical alternatives in the management of both soft and hard tissues with an expanding use in the field of dental materials. One of their main advantages is that they can deliver very low to very high concentrated power at an exact point on any substrate by all possible means. The aim of this review is to thoroughly analyze the use of lasers in the processing of dental materials and to enlighten the new trends in laser technology focused on dental material management. New approaches for the elaboration of dental materials that require high energy levels and delicate processing, such as metals, ceramics, and resins are provided, while time consuming laboratory procedures, such as cutting restorative materials, welding, and sintering are facilitated. In addition, surface characteristics of titanium alloys and high strength ceramics can be altered. Finally, the potential of lasers to increase the adhesion of zirconia ceramics to different substrates has been tested for all laser devices, including a new ultrafast generation of lasers.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the crystal phase formation behavior and its influence on the mechanical properties of LiO2-SiO2-P2O5 glass-ceramics system. High temperature XRD was used to analyze the crystal phase formation in situ. The crystalline phases in the material both before and after heat-treatment were also analyzed. The flexural strength was measured by three-point bending test according to ISO 6872:2008(E). The SEM analysis showed that the high strength of the glass-ceramics is attributed to the continuous interlocking microstructure with fine lithium disilicate crystallines.

ABSTRACTWe have mapped the full crystallographic orientation of sea ice using electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD). This is the first time EBSD has been used to study sea ice. Platelet ice is a feature of sea ice near ice shelves. Ice crystals accumulate as an unconsolidated sub-ice platelet layer beneath the columnar ice (CI), where they are subsumed by the advancing sea–ice interface to form incorporated platelet ice (PI). As is well known, in CI the crystal preferred orientation comprises dominantly horizontal c-axes, while PI has c-axes varying between horizontal and vertical. For the first time, this study shows the a-axes of CI and PI are not random. Misorientation analysis has been used to illuminate the possible drivers of these alignments. In CI the misorientation angle distribution from random pairs and neighbour pairs of grains are indistinguishable, indicating the distributions are a consequence of crystal preferred orientation. Geometric selection during growth will develop the a-axis alignment in CI if ice growth in water is fastest parallel to the a-axis, as has previously been hypothesised. In contrast, in PI random-pair and neighbour-pair misorientation distributions are significantly different, suggesting mechanical rotation of crystals at grain boundaries as the most likely explanation.

HAp (Hydroxyapatite) and α-TCP (alpha tribasic calcium phosphate) are non-toxic to human cells and, thus, have been studied for applications as biomaterials. HAp is a bioactive material that is not readily absorbed by the body; it offers both high strength and better tissueadhesive properties than α-TCP. In contrast, α-TCP is highly bioabsorbable; it is quickly absorbed by the body, and, therefore, for example, disappears before bone is completely replaced. If porous beads could be fabricated that would take advantage of the useful properties of α-TCP and HAp, they could be used as excellent scaffolds for cultivating cells. In the present study, ceramic beads with α-TCP at the center were fabricated and coated with a functionally graded film of HAp. A scaffold based on this configuration would be expected to have the following characteristics: good cell adhesion; strong beads; and a rate of absorption into the body that would be easy to control. In addition, to accelerate the formation of porous structure, some acid solutions were used to dissolve the beads surface layer and to penetrate pores toward inside of the bead. HAp formation through hydrolytic reaction seemed to be promoted by these acid solutions.

Local and conventional raw materials?massive basalt from the Vrelo locality on Kopaonik mountain?have been used as starting materials to test their suitability for the production of glass-ceramics. Crystallization phenomena of glasses of the fused basalt rocks were studied by X-ray phase analysis optical microscopy and other techniques. Various heat treatments were used and their influences, on controlling the microstructures and properties of the products were studied with the aim of developing high strength glass-ceramic materials. Diopside CaMg(SiO3)2 and hypersthene ((Mg,Fe)SiO3) were identifies as the crystalline phases. The final products contained considerable amounts of a glassy phase. The crystalline size was in range of 8?480 ?m with plate or needle shape. Microhardness, crashing strength and wears resistence of the glass-ceramics ranged from 6.5?7.5, from 2000?6300 kg/cm2 and from 0.1?0.2 g/cm, respectively.


We showed in this work that there is a possibility of recycling the wastes derived from iron ore concentration by using glass technology. The compositions of new glass ceramics with high technological and decorative properties were developed. The influence of Al2O3, MgO and Na2O additives to the waste from ore benefication on the parameters of the synthesized glass and its crystallization products was studied. The optimal temperatures of synthesis, annealing and crystallization of glass samples in the systems (Fe2O3–FeO)–SiO2–Al2O3–Na2O and (Fe2O3–FeO)–SiO2–Al2O3–MgO were shown to be 1450100С, 500–6000С and 700–8000C, respectively. It was established that the redox conditions of crystallization of glasses in the system (FeO–Fe2O3)–SiO2–Al2O3–Na2O strongly affect the nature of the iron-containing phases that are formed: oxidative conditions favors the formation of hematite (Fe2O3) and aegirinite (Na2OFe2O34SiO2), whereas reducing conditions contributes to the formation of wustite (FeO) and fayalite (2FeOSiO2). In the system (FeO–Fe2O3)–SiO2–Al2O3–MgO under both oxidative and reducing conditions of crystallization, the same crystalline phases appear: olivine (2(Mg,Fe)OSiO2), hercin (FeOAl2O3) and iron metasilicate (FeOSiO2). It was shown that the crystallization of samples under reducing conditions allows producing materials with higher microhardness. The surface layer of glasses and glass ceramics exhibited less microhardness than their deep layers.

High strength lightweight glass-ceramics were fabricated with coal gangue and clay as main raw materials. The utilization ratio of coal gangue, the ratio of the coal gangue with clay, mineralization agents, forming process and sintering process on the properties of the fabricated glass-ceramics were optimized. The utilization ratio of coal gangue reached 75, and the ratio of coal gangue to clay was 3/1, as an optimal property was observed. The optimal sintering temperature was found to be 1370?C. At this optimal temperature, the sintered glass-ceramics showed the main phase of mullite and spindle and so showed high strength, low density, and low water absorbance. The appropriate amounts of codoping of the TiO2, ZnO, and MnO2/dolomite as mineralization agents obviously enhanced the properties of the glass-ceramics. Process optimizations further determined reasonable and optimal process parameters. The high strength lightweight glass-ceramics fabricated in this work may be very suitable for various applications including building materials, cooking ceramics, and proppant materials, et al.
