Cordierite Ceramics

Mullite-cordierite ceramics was prepared by the three composition of talc, kaolin (kaolin from Naratiwas in Thailand) (NT) and alumina. The different amounts of alumina (5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) were added to produce various mullite-cordierite alumina mixtures which are denoted as NA, NB, NC and ND, respectively. The mixtures were pressed into rectangular shapes by hydraulic press with the pressure of 150 kg/cm2 then sintered at temperature of 1300 °C and 1350 °C for 2 hours. The morphology of the synthesized mullite-cordierite samples were characterized by x-ray diffraction spectroscopy (XRD), and physical-mechanical properties were investigated. Mullite-cordierite was successfully synthesized. The XRD result was represented phases of mullite and cordierite. The NA samples sintered at temperature of 1300 °C indicated the best physical-mechanical properties including bulk density (2.23 g/cm3), flexural strength (44.4 MPa) and thermal expansion coefficients (5.00x10-6). The other NA samples sintered at temperature of 1350 °C exhibited the bulk density, flexural strength and thermal expansion coefficients are 2.21 g/cm3, 47.8 MPa and 4.99 x10-6, respectively. The thermal expansion coefficient of the NT sintered samples have been plotted the length change relative to measuring temperature ranging of 30-1200 °C. The suitable condition of the synthesized mullite-cordierite ceramics is finally obtained the NA samples with 5 percent weight of alumina composition sintered at the temperature of 1350 °C.

In order to reduce the raw materials cost, lower the sintering temperature of 3Y-TZP optical fiber ferrules, the 3Y-TZP/ LAS glass ceramics composites were prepared and their properties were investigated in this paper. The results showed that the sintering temperatures and thermal expansion coefficients of the 3Y-TZP/LAS glass ceramics composites were lowered with the increase of glass content. The flexural strength of the composites were decreased with the increase of glass content, but the flexural strength of the composite with 15% weight glass was higher than 400MPa. The LAS glass powder added into the composites was crystallized and b-spodumene s.s was precipitated. during sintering. The b-spodumene s.s. having lower thermal expansion coefficient and higher strength was beneficial to reduce thermal expansion coefficients and keep higher strengths of the composites .

Batch Formulation

Additions of γ-Al2O3 and Al(OH)3 powders produced at INETI from spent baths resulting from the aluminium transformation industry were made to a commercial cordierite batch formulation (without Al2O3 addition), known as DC4, developed by Rauschert Portuguesa Lda., in order to evaluate the possibility of replacing with benefits the conventional α-Al2O3 source used. The resulting samples were found to be denser than the commercial ones. This is related to the higher reactivity of these particular sources of alumina as compared to that added to the commercial product. Consequently, higher Young’s modulus (100-114 GPa) and flexural strength (80-98 MPa) were achieved for the developed materials in comparison to those obtained for commercial cordierite (96±2 GPa and 67±5 MPa, respectively). In addition, slightly lower thermal expansion coefficients were observed (3.6x10-6 K-1) and the thermal shock resistance was found to increase from 325 K to 350 K. The developed technology can be regarded as suitable for reducing the environmental impact of deposition of wastes from the aluminium transformation industry.

Prosthetic substructures for dental application are veneered by porcelain comprising a structure with different elastic modulus and thermal expansion coefficients layers. This structure may present residual stresses in different layers leading to crack propagation and delamination. Although veneering porcelain remains basically on same strength than standard feldspathic porcelains, new ceramic cores have been developed with higher mechanical properties overcoming metal substructures, improving esthetics and biocompatibility. The interface between the Procera dense sintered alumina core and the manufacturer recommended veneering porcelain (AllCeram-Degussa) were evaluated using SEM in coping shaped specimen simulating the standard dental preparation. There were neither crack presences at the interface nor porcelain delamination.

Length change experiments on carbonate rock samples indicate that the thermal coefficient of expansion (contraction) from normal room temperature to below freezing is a function of the sorptive characteristic of the rock. The highly adsorptive rocks, i.e. those adsorbing more than 40% of their water from near 100% humidity atmosphere, show an increased thermal contraction coefficient in the saturated state over their dry state. The low adsorptive rocks have the same thermal expansion coefficients either in a dry or saturated state.The highly adsorptive rocks expand isothermally upon saturation. The average isothermal expansion of a group of nine rocks was equivalent to the dry thermal expansion of a 78 °C temperature change. The low adsorptive rocks showed a small net isothermal contraction upon wetting.The results indicate that the thermal coefficients of expansion obtained below the 100 °C range must specify the saturation conditions of the rock, and may differ for dry and saturated rock. A mechanism of weathering of highly adsorptive rocks is suggested, based on isothermal expansion and contraction of these rocks in dry and saturated states respectively. If confined, as in concrete, such rocks may generate destructive expansive forces upon wetting.

The SOFC interconnect materials La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] were prepared using an auto-ignition process. The influences of Cr deficiency on their sintering, thermal expansion and electrical properties were investigated. All the samples were pure perovskite phase after sintering at 1400[Formula: see text]C for 4 h. The cell volume of La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] decreased with increasing Cr deficient content. The relative density of the sintered bulk samples increased from 93.2% [Formula: see text] to a maximum value of 94.7% [Formula: see text] and then decreased to 87.7% [Formula: see text]. The thermal expansion coefficients of the sintered bulk samples were in the range of [Formula: see text]–[Formula: see text] (30–1000[Formula: see text]C), which are compatible with that of YSZ. Among the investigated samples, the sample with 0.02 Cr deficiency had a maximum conductivity of 40.4 Scm[Formula: see text] and the lowest Seebeck coefficient of 154.8 [Formula: see text]VK[Formula: see text] at 850[Formula: see text]C in pure He. The experimental results indicate that La[Formula: see text]Sr[Formula: see text]Cr[Formula: see text]O[Formula: see text] has the best properties and is much suitable for SOFC interconnect material application.

ABSTRACTHigh resolution pattern transfers in the nano-scale regime have been considerable challenges in ‘soft lithography’ to achieve nanodevices with enhanced performances. In this technology, the resolution of pattern integrations is significantly rely on the materials' properties of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) stamps. Since commercial PDMS stamps have shown limitations in nano-scale resolution soft lithography due to their low physical toughness and high thermal expansion coefficients, we developed stiffer, photocured PDMS silicon elastomers designed, specifically for nano-sized soft lithography and photopatternable nanofabrications.

Bulk Behavior

The aim of this paper is to introduce an approach for optimally organizing a variety of different unit cell designs within a large lattice such that the bulk behavior of the lattice exhibits a desired Young’s modulus with a graded change in thermal expansion over its geometry. This lattice, called a graded microarchitectured material, can be sandwiched between two other materials with different thermal expansion coefficients to accommodate their different expansions or contractions caused by changing temperature while achieving a desired uniform stiffness. First, this paper provides the theory necessary to calculate the thermal expansion and Young’s modulus of large multi-material lattices that consist of periodic (i.e., repeating) unit cells of the same design. Then it introduces the theory for calculating the graded thermal expansions of a large multimaterial lattice that consists of non-periodic unit cells of different designs. An approach is then provided for optimally designing and organizing different unit cells within a lattice such that both of its ends achieve the same thermal expansion as the two materials between which the lattice is sandwiched. A MATLAB tool is used to generate images of the undeformed and deformed lattices to verify their behavior and various examples are provided as case studies. The theory provided is also verified and validated using finite element analysis and experimentation.
