This research investigated the effect of sintering temperature on the physical properties and bending strength of zirconia toughened ceramic (ZTC). 3mol% yttria-stabilized zirconia compacts were prepared by dry press method and then sintered with different final sintering temperature: 1490°C, 1530°C, 1570°C and 1610°C respectively. The physical properties and three-point bending strength were measured. The results of the test indicated that the density and shrinkage of ZTC increased along with the rise of sintering temperature, while the surface porosity of the samples decreased. The curve of flexural strength is indicated the variolation tendency of falling after rising, being the maximum at 1570°C. The results of this experiment showed that the best sintering temperature of yttria-stabilized zirconia was showed at 1570°C in terms of physical properties and bending strength among the selected temperature range.

Introduction: Porcelain must have sufficient flexural strength to withstand mastication forces. The flexural strength of porcelain can be influenced by the maturity level of porcelain related to the temperature and sintering time. The purpose of this study was to compare the flexural strength of Indonesian natural sand self-synthesised porcelain with different sintering temperatures. Methods: Self-synthesised porcelain powder, with the composition of 65% Pangaribuan felspar, 25% Belitung silica, 5% Sukabumi kaolin, and 5% potassium salt, were condensed into 10 samples with the size of 7cm x 2cm x 0.4cm. A total of 5 samples were each burned at the temperature of 1150°C and 1200°C. Flexural strength test was performed using the Universal Testing Machine (Netzsch™) with the lowest load of 7.5 kg, and the data obtained was calculated using the bending strength formula. Result: The average flexural strength of self-synthesised porcelain at the sintering temperature of 1150°C was 26.678 MPa, while at the temperature of 1200°C was 39.038 MPa. Conclusion: This study concluded that Indonesian natural sand self-synthesised porcelain had a lower flexural strength at the sintering temperature of 1150°C than at the temperature of 1200°C.Keywords: Flexural strength, self-synthesised porcelain, sintering temperature.

Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) resin is the main polymeric material used in removable orthodontic appliances. However, it can promote the adhesion of microbes due to its surface porosity and from long-term use. While vanillin incorporated PMMA resin has been reported to have antimicrobial effects against Candida albicans, the influence of vanillin incorporation on the physical properties of self-curing orthodontic PMMA resin has not been studied. Objective: To determine the flexural strength and flexural modulus of self-curing orthodontic PMMA resin incorporated with vanillin in different concentrations. Materials and methods: Three groups of self-curing orthodontic PMMA with incorporated vanillin concentrations of 0.1%, 0.5% as well as PMMA without vanillin as a control were prepared with ten specimens per group. Flexural strength and flexural modulus were tested by a 3-point bending machine according to ISO 20795-2:2013 specifications. One-way ANOVA and Tukey’s multiple comparison tests at a p<0.05 significance level were used to analyse the data. Results: The 0.1% vanillin incorporated group met ISO standard requirements (flexural strength = 60.48 MPa, flexural modulus = 1756.60 MPa), while the 0.5% vanillin incorporated group failed to pass this standard (flexural strength = 46.94 MPa, flexural modulus = 1423.49 MPa). The means of both flexural strength and flexural modulus showed significant differences among the three groups. Increasing the concentration of vanillin would decrease the flexural strength and flexural modulus of PMMA resin. Conclusion: The incorporation of vanillin into self-curing orthodontic PMMA resin can affect its physical properties, namely flexural strength and flexural modulus. At a concentration of 0.1% vanillin incorporation, PMMA resin displayed physical properties within the ISO standards.

Two kinds of powders of 3 mol. % yttria stabilized zirconia (3Y–TZP) with different particles sizes; one was 20 nm denoted by N whereas the other was 0.5 µm denoted by M, were mechanically mixed via ball milling machine using different amounts of N wt. % to obtain multiscale zirconia composite powder. Then the mixed powders were sintered by field assisted sintering technique (FAST). The effect of N content on the microstructure as well as on mechanical properties of zirconia is investigated. Results show that the microstructure of M completely surrounded by N emerged in zirconia composites, and tetragonal phase is presented in all the sintered samples. The obtained zirconia ceramics with 15 wt. % N own a highly dense structure (~ 99.9 % relative density) and high flexural strength of 813.59 MPa wherein a 15 % increase in flexural strength compared to zirconia ceramics without adding N, but the fracture toughness of the composites just lightly decreases. The improved flexural strength of the composites is caused by the multiscale effect.

Development of NOx sensing elements intended for operation at T ∼600 °C are described. The elements were fabricated by depositing co-planar La1-x Srx BO3 (B = Cr, Fe) and Pt electrodes on yttria-stabilized zirconia substrates. Characterization of the elements included response to NO2 and NO as well as the [O2] dependence of the NO2 response. Much stronger (∼ 40 mV for 450 ppm NO2 in 7 vol% O2 at 600 °C) sensing responses were observed for NO2 than NO, indicating these elements are best suited for detection of NO2. Pronounced asymmetries were observed between the NO2 step response and recovery times for the elements, with temperature being the primary variable governing the recovery times in the temperature range 500–700 °C.

This paper presents the electrophysical characteristics of a 7 mol.% yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ) thin film deposited by radio-frequency magnetron sputtering. In order to form the crystallinestructure, the deposited films were annealed in air over a temperature range of 700 ÷ 900 °C. By XRD analysis it was established that as the deposited films were amorphous, they crystallized into a pure cubic structure as a result of annealing in air at a temperature above 820 °C.The electrophysical properties of YSZ films were investigated on structures such¨as Ni/YSZ/Pt/Ti/Si and Ni/YSZ/Si. Film features ? > 20 and tg ? < 0.05 were obtained. An estimate of the capacity-voltage characteristic proved that the Ni/YSZ/Si structures possessed a hysteresis. This hysteresis resulted from the drift of the mobile ions in the YSZ film. High-temperature ionic conductivity of the stabilized zirconia was determined by the measurements of the electric resistivity of the YSZ films at 1 kHz over the temperature range from ambient to 800 °C. The YSZ film conductivity obtained was 1.96 × 10-2 S/cm under 800 °C.

The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were produced at the temperature ranging from 850°C to 1050°C by the Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) process. The effects of sintering temperature and holding time on the mechanical properties of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds were investigated. The γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds sintered at 1050°C for 10 min showed a high relative density more than 98%, and had the best three-point bending strength of 643MPa, fracture toughness of 12 MPa·m1/2 and microhardness of 560MPa. The microstructural observations indicated typical characteristics of intergranular fracture, which meant the poor ductility of γ-TiAl intermetallic compounds.

Through Mechanical grounding method, CaZrO3 – 8YSZ(8% in mol yttria stabilized zirconia) electrolyte samples with different amounts of CaZrO3 at 10wt%, 20wt%, 30wt% were sintered at different temperatures in Muffle furnace. The decomposition temperature of CaZrO3 is 825°C-900°C under one atmosphere. At high temperature, CaZrO3 decomposes into CaO and ZrO2. So Y2O3-CaO-ZrO2 complex is composed. The effects of the sintering temperature and the contents of the CaZrO3 on the conductivity, porosity, flexure strength, hardness were investigated. XRD and SEM were used to analyse the compositions and microcosmic morphology.

The performance of yttria-stabilized zirconia (YSZ)–samaria-doped ceria (SDC) dual layer electrolyte anode-supported solid oxide fuel cell (AS-SOFC) was investigated. Tape-casting, lamination, and co-sintering of the NiO–YSZ anode followed by wet powder spraying of the SDC buffer layer and BSCF cathode was proposed for fabrication of these cells as an effective means of reducing the number of sintering stages required. The AS-SOFC showed a significant fuel cell performance of ∼1.9 W cm−2 at 800 °C. The fuel cell performance varies significantly with the sintering temperature of the SDC buffer layer. An optimal buffer layer sintering temperature of 1350 °C occurs due to a balance between the YSZ–SDC contact and densification at low sintering temperature and reactions between YSZ and SDC at high sintering temperatures. At high sintering temperatures, the reactions between YSZ and SDC have a detrimental effect on the fuel cell performance resulting in no power at a sintering temperature of 1500 °C.
