Zirconium oxide (ZrO2) has generated wide interest because of its potential in applications such as solid oxide fuel cells, catalysts and optical devices. In these applications, it is important to control the grain size of the material and increase the surface area by introducing porosity with tailored pore size. This paper presents a synthesis route for the preparation of mesoporous zirconia u...

Vanadium oxide nanotubes belong to inorganic nanotubes. One inorganic nanotubes (WS2) synthesized in 1992.Vanadium oxide nanotubes discovared by spahr in 1998.Vanadium oxide nanotubes are used in chemical, bio, electronics and catalysts industry. Many applications of these nanotubes have not yet been discovered. Especially when these nanotubes are doped with different elements. The structure of...

PURPOSE The aim of this work is to evaluate different types of materials used for making implant abutments, by means of an in vitro study and a review of the literature, in order to identify the indications for a better choice of an implant-supported restoration in the anterior section. MATERIALS AND METHODS 5 implant abutments were tested in a random order in the superior anterior maxilla of...

Development of in-born porous nature of zirconium hydroxide nanopowders through a facile hydrogen (H2) gas-bubbles assisted borohydride synthesis route using sodium borohydride (NaBH4) and novel information on the temperature-mediated phase transformation, pore geometry as well as pore hysteresis transformation of in-born porous zirconium hydroxide nanopowders with the help of X-ray diffraction...

Four aluminas were used as supports for impregnation with a zirconium oxide with the aim to achieve a coating, without phase separation, between support and modifier. The supports were impregnated with different concentrations of zirconium aqueous resin, obtained through the polymeric precursor method. After impregnation the samples were calcined and then characterized by XRD, which led to iden...

−The 2-chlorophenol (2-CP) was oxidized in a continuous anti-corrosive supercritical water system. The variation of decomposition efficiency by the corrosion of zirconium 702 was also studied at the variation of feed concentration and reaction time. According to AES depth profile, the oxygen penetration depth to zirconium was not proportional to the exposure time. It might stem from the formati...

background and aims. one of the major problems of all-ceramic restorations is their probable fracture under occlusal force. the aim of the present in vitro study was to compare the effect of two marginal designs (chamfer and deep chamfer) on the fracture resistance of all-ceramic restorations, cercon. materials and methods. this in vitro study was carried out with single-blind experimental tech...

This work represents the first use of mesoporous zirconium oxide nanomaterials for highly effective and selective enrichment of phosphorylated peptides.

Effective tribofilms are desirable to protect mechanical systems. In the present research, we investigated the formation of a tribofilm through the use of α-ZrP (Zr(HPO4)2 ̈H2O) as an additive. Experiments were conducted on a base oil where 0.2 wt% of the additive was used. Experimental results showed a 50% reduction in friction and a 30% reduction in wear when compared to the base oil containin...
