The aim of this work was to obtain porous ceramic parts based on Zirconia stabilized with 5mol.% Yttria (5Y-PSZ), suitable for the infiltration with bioactive glasses, using 3D printed sacrificial polymeric molds. In a first step, honeycomb structured molds were designed with the SolidWorks® software and manufactured by 3D printing using polylactic acid filaments (PLA). These molds were filled with a ceramic mass composed of 5Y-PSZ nanoparticles containing 3wt% polymeric binder and consolidated under pressure of 10MPa and then sintered at 1200 °C-30 min the polymeric molds were consumed. The obtained hexagonal-shaped, porous 5Y-TZP bodies were infiltrated with the bioactive glass 45S5, calcium sodium phosphosilicate, at 1350 °C. The materials were characterized by their relative density, their phase composition by X-ray diffraction analysis, and their microstructure by scanning electron microscopy (SEM-EDS), besides their mechanical properties of hardness and fracture toughness. Pre-sintered 5Y-PSZ substrates exhibit relative density around 75%, and 90% after sintering and Bioglass infiltration. The samples' microstructure is composed of a 5Y-PSZ matrix of sub-micrometric zirconia grains with an average size of 1.0 mm, besides the secondary infiltrated glassy phase homogeneously distributed, with a Ca/P ratio of 1.7, close to the ideal proportion for hydroxyapatite formation. In conclusion, sacrificial molding is an interesting route to obtaining dense Y-PSZ/Bioglass 45S5 composite in a honeycomb format.

BaTiO3 nanopowders were prepared by salt-assisted spray pyrolysis using a flux of KNO3 and NaNO3. Compounds of metal sources are thermally decomposed in the melting flux. Some flux mixtures make a eutectic composition because of the reduced melting point of the flux. The optimum temperature for the preparation of BaTiO3 nanoparticles was 700 °C. When both KNO3 and NaNO3 were used as the flux, the average particle size of the BaTiO3 powders was 40 nm, and the particle distribution was broad. On the other hand, when only KNO3 was used, the average size of BaTiO3 powders was 60 nm, and the particle distribution was narrow. This suggested that the sodium ions in the BaTiO3 nanoparticles led to a broad particle distribution. X-ray diffraction (XRD) revealed that all the diffraction peaks were in agreement with the crystal phase of BaTiO3. The relative density of the sintered body of BaTiO3 powders was 87 %. The relative dielectric constant of the sintered body was 1180, and the dielectric loss (tanδ) was 0.023 at room temperature. This suggested that the residual potassium ions in the BaTiO3 nanoparticles led to a reduction in the relative density and dielectric constant.

Hydroxyapatite Formation

A new melted bioactive system containing gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) was prepared exploiting a post-synthesis thermal treatment that allows one to modify crystal phases and nature, shape and distribution of the gold species in the glass-ceramic matrix as evidenced by UV–visible spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy and powder X-ray diffraction analysis. In human MG-63 osteoblasts the presence of Au n + species caused an increase of lactate dehydrogenase leakage and malonyldialdehyde production, whereas Hench's Bioglass HAu-600-17 containing only AuNPs did not cause any effect. In addition, HAu-600-17 caused in vitro hydroxyapatite formation and an increase of specific surface area with a controlled release of gold species; this material is then suitable to be used as a model system for the controlled delivery of nanoparticles.

This work presents multi-scale approaches to investigate 3D printed structured Mn–Na–W/SiO2 catalysts used for the oxidative coupling of methane (OCM) reaction. The performance of the 3D printed catalysts has been compared to their conventional analogues, packed beds of pellets and powder. The physicochemical properties of the 3D printed catalysts were investigated using scanning electron microscopy, nitrogen adsorption and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Performance and durability tests of the 3D printed catalysts were conducted in the laboratory and in a miniplant under real reaction conditions. In addition, synchrotron-based X-ray diffraction computed tomography technique (XRD-CT) was employed to obtain cross sectional maps at three different positions selected within the 3D printed catalyst body during the OCM reaction. The maps revealed the evolution of catalyst active phases and silica support on spatial and temporal scales within the interiors of the 3D printed catalyst under operating conditions. These results were accompanied with SEM-EDS analysis that indicated a homogeneous distribution of the active catalyst particles across the silica support.

AbstractMultifunctionality can be achieved for bioactive glasses by endowing them with multiple other properties along with bioactivity. One way to address this topic is by doping these glasses with therapeutic metallic ions. In this work, we put under investigation a series of bioactive glasses doped with tantalum. We aim to study the effect of tantalum, on the structure, bioactivity and antibacterial property of a ternary bioactive glass composition based on SiO2-CaO-P2O5. Fourier Transformed Infrared Spectroscopy (FTIR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Electron Scanning Microscopy (SEM) were used to assess the structural and morphological properties of these glasses and monitor their changes after in vitro acellular bioactivity test. Antibacterial activity was tested against gram positive and negative bacteria. Characterization results confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate crystallites along with the amorphous silica matrix. The assessment of bioactivity in SBF indicated that all compositions showed a fast bioactive response after only six hours of immersion period. However, analytical characterization revealed that tantalum introduced a slight latency in hydroxyapatite deposition at higher concentrations (0.8-1 %mol). Antibacterial test showed that tantalum ions had an inhibition effect on the growth of E. coli and S. aureus. This effect was more pronounced in compositions where mol% of tantalum is superior to 0.4%. These results proved that tantalum could be used, in intermediate proportions, as a promising multifunctional dopant element in bioactive glasses for bone regeneration applications.

Preliminary Study

Utilization of brown algae especially in Madura, where it’s close to Surabaya, only limited for food. This become a reference for developing and increasing the potential of this algae by extracting one of the ingredients, namely alginate. This paper deals with the characterization of sodium alginate extracted from sargassum sp. using modified-purified calcium routes. The extracted sodium alginate will be further used as composite hydrogel materials and compared with commercial sodium alginate. Hereafter, the synthesized composite is expected to be bio-ink for 3d printer. Chemical composition analysis were analyzed using X-Ray Fluorosense (XRF) followed by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis to identify the functional group of composite and X-Ray Diffraction (XRD). Furthermore, viscosity bath is performed to compare the viscosity of extracted and commercial one. The result shows that modified-purified calcium routes in the extraction process of sodium alginate is desirable for improving their properties. Interestingly enough, with the goal of using it as bio-ink in 3d printed fabrication, the synthesized composite shows viscosity, 300 cSt, which meets the criteria for bio-ink in 3d printer.

Al2O3-TiC-ZrO2ceramic composites (ATZ) were fabricated by hot-pressed sintering. The phases and microstructure of the composites were studied by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The relative density and mechanical properties (flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vicker’s hardness) of the composites were tested. The results show that the microstructure of the composites was the gray core-white rim. With the increase of sintering temperature, the relative density and mechanical properties of the composites increased first and then decreased. The composite sintered at 1705°C has the highest synthetical properties, and its relative density, flexural strength, fracture toughness and Vickers hardness are 98.3%,970MPa,6.0 MPa•m1/2and 20.5GPa, respectively.

The FexZn1−xF2 alloy has been shown to be a model system for studying the magnetic phase diagram of dilute magnets. Whereas the growth of bulk single crystals with fixed Zn concentrations is difficult, the thin film growth is comparatively simpler and more flexible. To gain an understanding of the growth of FexZn1−xF2 films, a method was developed to grow smooth films at fixed concentrations. This was done by depositing a MgF2 buffer layer on MgF2(001) substrates and then depositing FeF2 and ZnF2 [001]-orientated epitaxial thin films at different temperatures. Surprisingly, the lattice spacing depends strongly on the growth temperature, for 44-nm-thick FeF2 films and 77-nm-thick ZnF2 films. This indicates a significant amount of stress, despite the close lattice match between the films and the MgF2 substrate. Thick alloy samples (approximately 500 nm thick) were grown by co-evaporation from the FeF2 and ZnF2 sources at the ideal temperature determined from the growth study, and their concentration was accurately determined using x-ray diffraction.

Pure and silver added zinc oxide nanoparticles ( ZnO -NPs and ZnO : Ag -NPs) were synthesized through a modified sol–gel method. The prepared samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. In the XRD patterns, silver diffracted peaks were also observed for the samples synthesized at different calcination temperatures of 500°C, 700°C, 900°C except 1100°C, in addition to ZnO . TEM images indicated that the average size of ZnO : Ag -NPs increases with the amount of Ag concentration. The PL spectra of the samples revealed that the increase of Ag concentration results in the increase of the visible emission intensity, whereas by increasing the calcination temperature the intensity of visible emission of the samples decreases.
