A large portion of the global human population carries a type of medical implant. Dental
implants are an important part of this category, and the crowns they support are vital for …

A simple, soft, and fast microwave-assisted hydrothermal method was used for the
preparation of nanocrystalline cobalt ferrite powders from commercially-available Fe (NO 3) …

Microwave sintering has emerged in recent years as a novel method for sintering a variety of
materials that have shown significant advantages against conventional sintering …

The purpose of this study was to obtain dental ceramic materials with excellent mechanical
properties and high resistance to low temperature degradation (LTD) via stereolithography …

The aim of this work is to study the application of microwave sintering to consolidate yttria-
stabilized zirconia polycrystalline (Y-TZP) ceramics commonly applied in dentistry, so as to …

Processing of ceramic materials has also a strong impact in the quality of the consolidated
body, as it plays a key role in the resulting microstructure and, as a consequence, in its final …

Methods such as the master sintering curve (MSC) or the kinetics method proposed by
Wang and Raj (WR) are well-known techniques for determining the activation energy of …

The purpose of this study was to compare the fracture strength of monolithic zirconium
dioxide subjected to a sintering process in two different furnaces: InFire HTC Speed and …

The aim of the present research work was to investigate the effect on the properties such as
density, surface roughness, microhardness, fracture toughness and microstructure added …

Abstract Fine-grained Al 2 O 3/SiC composite ceramic tool materials were synthesized by
two-step microwave sintering. The effects of first-step sintering temperature (T1), content and …
