High-strength organic materials.

Translucency and strength of high-translucency monolithic zirconium oxide materials.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the translucency and strength of highly translucent monolithic zirconia ceramic materials recently introduced to the market. Four monolithic zirconium oxide materials promoted as having high translucency (BruxZir Shaded 16, BruxZir HT, Lava Plus, and inCoris TZI C) were compared to a high-translucency, lithium disilicate monolithic glass-ceramic materia...

Mechanical properties of commercial high strength ceramic core materials.

OBJECTIVE The objective of the present study is to evaluate and compare the flexural strength, dynamic elastic moduli and true hardness (H(o)) values of commercial Vita In-Ceram alumina core and Vita In-Ceram matrix glass with the standard aluminous porcelain (Hi-Ceram and Vitadur), Vitadur N and Dicor glass and glass-ceramic. METHODS The flexural strength was evaluated (n=5) using 3-point lo...

Metal-organic framework materials as nano photocatalyst

Photocatalytic degradation of toxic organic compound in water, soil and air by semiconductor catalysts such as TiO2 and ZnO have received much attention over the last two decades. However, the low quantum yield, easy agglomeration and difficult post-separation of these inorganic catalysts limit their application for large-scale applications. Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are the latest class ...
