Recently, there have been many materials used for denture base such as polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) resin, modifi ed PMMA resin and nylon1,2). The material most often used to fabricate denture base and denture teeth was PMMA resin. PMMA is the most commonly used material due to its good mechanical and physical properties, compatibility with oral tissue, aesthetics, ease of repair and low cost...

A heterogeneous reaction-based colorimetric chemodosimeter toward cyanide anions was designed based on a hybrid pyrylium/alumina probe which possesses a great selectivity for CN(-) over other common anions even at significantly higher concentrations. The synergistic incorporation of the inorganic matrix and the organic receptor can play a pivotal role in the convenient field-usable determinatio...

This paper presents the results of the continued development of creep-resistant, alumina-forming austenitic (AFA) stainless steel alloys, which exhibit a unique combination of excellent oxidation resistance via protective alumina (Al2O3) scale formation and high-temperature creep strength through the formation of stable nano-scale MC carbides and intermetallic precipitates. Efforts in fiscal ye...

It is of critical importance to improve toughness, strength, and wear-resistance together for the development of advanced structural materials. Herein, we report on the synthesis of unoxidized graphene/alumina composite materials having enhanced toughness, strength, and wear-resistance by a low-cost and environmentally benign pressure-less-sintering process. The wear resistance of the composite...

The effect of alumina and tough nylon 66 on microparticles’ presence the mechanical and thermal properties of epoxy adhesives is assessed here. In order to distribute the adhesive formulation components, in a uniform manner a mechanical stirrer is applied. The effect a combined percentage of nylon66 at (20،30،40 pph) and alumina micro-particles 20 μ (50,60,70 pph) selected based on Taguchi expe...

In the current research, corrosion behaviors of AZ91 Mg-hybrid composites amalgamated with titanium carbide and alumina reinforcing particles have been investigated. developed by using bottom pouring vacuum-based stir casting process to attain homogeneous distribution in AZ91-Mg matrix. The behavior AZ91-hybrid has evaluated potential (OCP) dynamic polarization scans, as well friction coefficie...

In this paper, the production of Al2O3-Mo nano-composites via mechanical milling was investigated. Molybdenum and alumina powders with certain ratios were grounded in a planetary ball mill at different times. XRD technique was used to determine the crystallite size of the milled powders. The microstructure of milled powders was studied using optical and electron microscopes. The crystallite siz...

To improve the structural properties of engineering ceramics, carbon nanotubes have been used as a reinforcement phase to produce stronger ceramic matrix composites. This paper investigates the possible chemical bond formation between a carbon nanotube and alumina with the aid of quantum mechanics analysis. The cases with and without functionalizing the nanotubes were examined. The nanotubes we...
