ABSTRACTThe main objective of this research work was to study the influence of glassy additives on the formation of crystalline phases in sintered red ceramic bodies used for the fabrication of ceramic floor tiles, whose composition is a mixture of quartz (SiO2), kaolinite [Al2Si2O5(OH)4], albite (NaAlSi3O8), muscovite [KAl2(Si3Al)O10(OH)2] and calcite (CaCO3). The additives used were: fly ash, soda-lime glass, borosilicate glass, glass frit, Na2P3O10 and cryolite (Na3AlF6). These were added in variable proportions to the nominal composition of the red ceramic bodies, either as single or as combined additions, aiming to accelerate the densification of the materials during their sintering process. For all the additive types used, the crystalline phases formed in the samples sintered using a peak temperature ranging from 950 to 1030 °C were: quartz (SiO2), anorthite (CaAl2Si2O8), and hematite (Fe2O3). It is known that the presence of anorthite is particularly beneficial for the mechanical properties, chemical stability and densification of the sintered red ceramic bodies. However, some of the considered additions tended to be detrimental for the formation of this phase in the studied materials, especially at the lowest peak sintering temperature employed. This was verified by means of XRD and SEM analysis.

Cobalt Chromium Molybdenum (CoCrMo) is a metal that are widely used in the biomedical field of orthopedic applications. CoCrMo foam was developed in the form of a porous structure where it has a high porosity on the surface with the different pore sizes and shapes. This research is intended to produce CoCrMo foam by using slurry method and to study the effect of composition and sintering temperature on the metal foams. The slurry of CoCrMo was prepared by mixing the binder materials of Methylcellulose (CMC), Polyethylene Glycol (PEG) and distilled water for an hour. Followed by mixing and stirring the CoCrMo powder for another 1 hour until it becomes slurries. Polyurethane (PU) foam was then impregnated into the slurry and dried for a day in the oven with 60 °C. Sintering process is carried out at temperature of 1000 °C, 1100 °C and 1200 °C using a tube furnace. Then sample of CoCrMo foam was going through a shrinkage measurement, microstructure analysis by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), analysis of element by using Energy Diffraction X-ray (EDX) and also the density and porosity test by using Archimedes method. The sample with the composition of 65wt% was the best result in this experiment. While sintering temperature of 1200 °C produced the highest number of porosities. The shrinkage percentage is from 2.67% to 14.13%. The density obtained is in between 1.538 g/cm3 and 2.706 g/cm3 while the percentage of porosity is from 50.284% to 78.934%. The average pore size is in the range of 249.63μm to 445.38μm. The best sintering temperature and composition to produced high porosity were on 1200 °C and 65wt%.

ABSTRACTWe fabricated Cu2ZnSn(SxSe1-x)4 (CZTSSe) solar cells by a printing and high-pressure sintering (PHS) process. First, the CZTSSe solid solution powders were synthesized by heating the elemental mixtures at 550oC for 5 h in an N2 gas atmosphere. We fabricated CZTSSe films by a printing and high-pressure sintering (PHS) process. The obtained dense CZTSSe film was post-annealed at 550oC for 10 min under an N2 +5% H2S gas atmosphere. We fabricated CZTSSe solar cells with the device structure of Ag/ITO/i-ZnO/CdS/CZTSSe/Mo/soda-lime glass. The CZTSSe solar cell showed an efficiency of 2.1%, with Voc of 272 mV, Jsc of 18.0 mA/cm2 and FF of 0.44.

By using the thick soda-lime glass plate and the flat thin glass, the connecting plates were formed easily. The carbon nanotube materials were prepared to form the field emitters. The simple small diode structure field emission display device with connecting plate was developed. The detailed fabrication technology for the whole device was also presented. The sealing of the vacuum room was performed by means of glass frit and the gas in the vacuum room could be evacuated out through the exhaust tube. The developed diode structure FED sample exhibited large field emission current, better field emission properties and image display performance.

AbstractPreliminary studies on the properties of undoped and Ti-doped In2S3 thin films grown on soda lime glass by chemical solution deposition under different conditions are presented. Different physical, chemical and morphological properties of the films have been analysed. At the beginning of the deposition of In2S3 films, In2O3 and In(OH)3 deposited by electroless-chemical reaction are dominant. The optical properties observed for Ti-In2S3 films show the partial contribution of the electronic transitions. The study is completed with SEM analysis which shows the influence of the deposition time and the precursor used, in the morphology for incorporation of titanium at the beginning of deposition and X-ray diffraction when is observed the amorphous nature of the films.

ABSTRACTAIZO (Al and In codoped ZnO) thin films were deposited on soda lime glass substrates by the ultrasonic spray pyrolysis (USP) technique. The spraying solution was prepared from zinc acetate dihydrate, aluminum acetyl acetonate and indium acetate. Depositions were carried out at three different temperatures, 425, 450 and 475 °C. Structural, morphological, optical and electrical properties were examined with respected to the deposition temperatures. All AIZO films grown with (002) preferential orientation confirmed from X-ray diffraction analysis. Hexagonal nanostructures were observed from Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Minimum electrical resistivity of 2.52 x10-3 Ω-cm was achieved for AIZO films.

In this research work, unfilled and monofilled polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were investigated. The applied fillers were graphene, alumina (Al2O3), boehmite alumina (BA80) and hydrotalcite (MG70). Graphene and Al2O3 are already known in the literature as potential fillers of PTFE, while BA80 and MG70 are novel fillers in PTFE. Materials were produced by room temperature pressing—free sintering method with a maximum sintering temperature of 370 °C. The mass loss and decomposition analyses were carried out by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) in two different ways. The first was a sensitivity analysis to gain a better view into the sintering process at 370 °C maximal temperature. The second was a heating from 50 °C up to 1000 °C for a full-scale decomposition analysis. BA80 is a suitable filler for PTFE, as most of its functional groups still existed after the sintering process. Both PTFE and Al2O3 had high thermal stability. However, when Al2O3 was incorporated in PTFE, a remarkable mass loss was observed during the sintering process, which indicated that the decomposition of PTFE was catalysed by the Al2O3 filler. The observed mass loss of the Al2O3-filled PTFE was increased, as the Al2O3 content or the applied dwelling time at a 370 °C sintering temperature increased.

Al/(SiCw+Al2O3p) composite was a blend of fine aluminum powder serving as a matrix while Silicon Carbid whiskers (SiCw) and Alumina (Al2O3p) as a reinforcement. Powder metallurgy was used for the manufacture of composites according to the shape of the test specimen. Parameter testing was conducted with varied sintering holding time of 1 h, 3 h and 6 h at a sintering temperature of 500°C and 600°C. This study was conducted to know hardness properties, density, porosity and SEM analysis. The results show that the sintering process which has been conducted affects the physical and mechanical properties of the composite. Increased hardness and density occur due to the stronger or more dense interface bonding between matrix and reinforcement which are affected by the increase in the holding time and sintering temprature, where the highest is at 6 hours with 600°C, while the porosity decreases inversely proportional to the density and the hardness that occur in composite materials.
