BACKGROUND: The high esthetic expectations from the prosthodontic restorations have
directed the qualitative development of the materials towards the all-ceramic materials that …

This paper reviews the current knowledge and understanding of martensitic transformations
in ceramics—the tetragonal to monoclinic transformation in zirconia in particular. This …

Protonic ceramic fuel cells, like their higher-temperature solid-oxide fuel cell counterparts,
can directly use both hydrogen and hydrocarbon fuels to produce electricity at potentially …

The recognition of the potential for enhanced fracture toughness that can be derived from
controlled, stress‐activated tetragonal (t) to monoclinic (m) transformation in ZrO2‐based …

A nonlinear calibration curve for volume fraction vs integrated intensity ratio was obtained for
the monoclinic‐tetragonal ZrO2 system by using X‐ray powder pattern‐fitting and pattern …

A Comprehensive and Self-Contained Treatment of the Theory and Practical Applications of
Ceramic Materials When failure occurs in ceramic materials, it is often catastrophic …

For the system ZrO 2 Y 2 O 3 containing from 4.5 to 8.0 mole% Y 2 O 3, the crystal
structure, mechanical properties, electrical conductivity, and performance as solid electrolyte …

Phase changes and the microstructure resulting from low‐temperature annealing of yttria‐
doped tetragonal ZrO2 polycrystals in water were investigated at 65° to 120° C. Tetragonal …

The stability of tetragonal ZrO2 particles in ceramic matrices was considered, with particular
reference to Al2O3‐ZrO2 composites and to partially stabilized ZrO2. In both systems …

The toughness of ceramics can be substantially enhanced by inducing a martensitic
transformation in the stress field of the dominant crack. The specific characteristics of …
