background: titanium (ti) implants are commonly coated with hydroxyapatite (ha). however, ha has some disadvantages such as brittleness, low tensile strength and fracture toughness. it is desirable to combine the excellent mechanical properties of zro2 and the chemical inertness of al2o3 with respect to the purpose of this project which was coating ti implants with ha-zro2-al2o3 to modify the s...

Effect of zirconia nanoparticles (zirconia NPs/ZrO2 NPs) modified by 3 wt.% (glycidyloxypropyl) triethoxysilane – GPTES (m-ZrO2 on some properties epoxy coating such as mechanical properties, thermal stability and anti-corrosion performance was investigated. The obtained results indicated that the addition to could enhance this coating. 2 pure ZrO2 NPs (u-ZrO2 matrix increase (hardness adhesion...

the aim of this research was to study the wear behavior of 42crmo4 steel/zro2 composite with 10 and 30 ppi performed ceramic and compare it with the un-reinforced steel under different applied loads. the composite specimens were obtained by pressureless infiltration of the melt into a preformed ceramic of zirconium oxide. the effect of applied load on the specimens wear behavior was studied by ...

Ni–CeO2–ZrO2 Catalysts for Water Gas Shift Reaction: Effect of CeO2

ii Nanocomposite of ZrO2/Polymer Thin-film Coatings by The Ionically Self-Assembled Monolayer Technique

The effect of crystal structure Y-doped ZrO2 as support on the three-way catalytic performance Rh catalyst was investigated. supported 3Y-ZrO2 with tetragonal phase showed higher activity than that 3Y/ZrO2 monoclinic phase. difference in Rh–support oxide interaction suspected from measurements temperature-programmed reduction by CO (CO-TPR). use found to contribute formation easily reducible sp...

cazro3 nanoceramics were successfully synthesized at 700 c using the molten salt method, and the effects of processing parameters, such as temperature, holding time, and amount of salt on the crystallization of cazro3 were investigated. cacl2, na2co3, and nano-zro2 were used as starting materials. on heating, cacl2–nacl molten eutectic salt provided a liquid medium for the reaction of caco3 an...

Ni nanoparticles supported on ZrO2 are a prototypical system for reforming catalysis converting methane to synthesis gas. Herein, we examine this catalyst on a fundamental level using a 2-fold approach employing industrial-grade catalysts as well as surface science based model catalysts. In both cases we examine the atomic (HRTEM/XRD/LEED) and electronic (XPS) structure, as well as the adsorpti...

H5PV2Mo10O40 polyoxometallate Keggin clusters supported on ZrO2, TiO2, SiO2, and Al2O3 are effective catalysts for CH3OH oxidation reactions to form HCHO, methyl formate (MF), and dimethoxymethane (DMM). Rates and selectivities and the structure of supported clusters depend on the surface properties of the oxide supports. Raman spectroscopy showed that Keggin structures remained essentially int...
