Using Flixweed Seed as a Pore-former to Prepare Porous Ceramics

Pore Former Addition in the Preparation of Highly Porous Anode Using Phase-inversion Technique for Solid Oxide Fuel Cell

A detailed study on the anode structure of solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) is very crucial in developing high performance power generating devices, given how porous electrodes are known to provide a number of active sites for reaction, consequently accelerate fuel conversion. This present study investigates the feasibility of pore former addition to nickel oxideyttria stabilized zirconia (NiO-YSZ)...

Development and evaluation of porous Beta- TCP ceramics with triple pore structure

Introduction Beta-tricalcium phosphate (Beta -TCP) ceramics have been widely used as bone prosthesis material in many areas of surgery due to their biocompatibility and biodegradation. There are many reports that betaTCP is gradually degraded in the bone tissue and replaced with natural bone. However, if the degradation rate is faster than the bone formation rate, the mechanical strength of Bet...

Bone ingrowth into two porous ceramics with different pore sizes: an experimental study.

Many properties of porous calcium phosphate ceramics have been described, but how pore size influences bony integration of various porous ceramics remains unclear. This study was performed to quantify the bony ingrowth and biodegradability of two porous calcium phosphate ceramics with four different pore size ranges (45-80 microm, 80-140 microm, 140-200 microm, and 200-250 microm). Hydroxyapati...

AC Microdischarges in Porous Ceramics

Generation of microdischarges inside porous ceramics by AC high voltage has been investigated. Electrical and optical measurements were performed to explore the physical properties of the microdischarges. The effect of pore size, discharge power and gas mixture on the discharge properties and development is described. Introduction Research of various types of non-thermal plasmas generated by el...
