In recent years, incessant research in material science has encouraged the engineering and development of advanced ceramic materials. Such materials satisfy the needs of high end applications in the areas of aerospace, automotive, defense, biological and nuclear fields. Whereas, due to inherent capability of machining of any conductive material irrespective of its hardness and strength, Electri...

To systematically review the randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and compare the survival rates and complications of all-ceramic fixed dental prostheses (FDPs) with those of metal-ceramic FDPs. Eligible studies were retrieved in relevant electronic databases from their inception to June 8th, 2016. Then, quality of the included studies was assessed using Cochrane Collaboration’s tool. Heterogene...

In this paper, we report the in situ growth of Ni(x)Cu(1-x) (x = 0, 0.25, 0.50, 0.75 and 1.0) alloy catalysts to anchor and decorate a redox-reversible Nb1.33Ti0.67O4 ceramic substrate with the aim of tailoring the electrocatalytic activity of the composite materials through direct exsolution of metal particles from the crystal lattice of a ceramic oxide in a reducing atmosphere at high tempera...

Solid-state batteries using ceramic solid electrolytes promise to deliver enhanced energy density and intrinsic safety. However, the challenge of integrating with electrode materials limits electrochemical performance. Herein, we report a solvent-free ceramic-based lithium-metal battery good cycling stability at wide temperature range from 45 100 °C, enabled by an inorganic ternary salt low eut...

OBJECTIVES Our study aimed to examine not only the incidence but also the impact of noise from two types of total hip replacement articulations: ceramic-on-ceramic and ceramic-on-polyethylene. METHODS We performed a case-controlled study comparing subjective and objective questionnaire scores of patients receiving a ceramic-on-ceramic or a ceramic-on-polyethylene total hip replacement by a si...

Abstract This study underlines the ceramic BaTiO 3 dielectric layer adjacent to electrode of long-term reliability-improved Ni–Sn alloy internal -based multilayer capacitor clarify cause electric barrier formation. Electron energy loss spectroscopy measurements Ti L 3,2 near edges and O K edge structure changes characterize existence an oxygen vacancy region, approximately 60 nm in width, gener...
