For decades, enormous investigation effort has been devoted to the fabrication of new
ceramic matrix composites with enhanced mechanical properties. One of the most explored …

Alumina-zirconia composites (ATZs) are a class of advanced ceramics that have attracted
significant attention due to their excellent mechanical properties. These properties make …

The use of monolithic [yttria (Y2O3)-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (ZrO2) polycrystalline](Y-
TZP) ceramics to restore teeth is expanding in dentistry. However, there are still some …

Zirconia restorations are increasingly popular in dental treatment. Yttria-stabilized zirconia
(YSZ) needs to be sintered for clinical applications and novel speed-sintering protocols are …

In this research, the comparison between microwave sintering and conventional sintering on
the mechanical properties and microstructural evolution of 3 mol% yttria-stabilised zirconia …

The state of understanding on the devastating effects of hydrothermal ageing on the
properties of yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) when exposed to humid …

Yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (Y-TZP) have been widely applied in fixed
partial prostheses as well as dental uses ie a substructure for crowns. However, Y-TZP has …

The purpose of this study was to compare the effects of conventional sintering (CS) and
rapid sintering (RS) on the mechanical and optical properties of different generations of …

Sažetak The present study examines the potential of microwave heating as an emerging
and innovative energy-efficient alternative to conventional heating techniques used for …

Processing of ceramic materials has also a strong impact in the quality of the consolidated
body, as it plays a key role in the resulting microstructure and, as a consequence, in its final …
