3-D microstructure of polycrystalline aluminium microstructure has been reconstructed on the basis of microscopic analysis results of actual α-Al2O3 microstructure by using Laguerre tessellation. SEM images of sintered bodies were used to... more
Due to the reduction in the size of the electronic components, heat dissipation has become a major problem. In many cases, air cooling has failed to provide the required demands. The invention of nanofluid has promised to increase the... more
Near-infrared (IR) spectroscopy has been used to distinguish between alumina oxo and hydroxy phases. Two near-IR spectral regions are identified for this function: (1) the high-frequency region between 6400 and 7400 cm−1, attributed to... more
The effects of doping small amounts of TiO2 up to 5 wt% on the sintering behaviour of alumina (Al2O3) was studied. Green samples were prepared and pressureless sintered in air at temperatures ranging from 1250°C to 1600°C, at a furnace... more

The ceramic shells were fabricated with ceramic slurry containing alpaha and gamma alumina as filler materials and colloidal silica binder. The shell characteristics in terms of bending strength and thermal expansion were measured. The... more
A study was carried out on the behavior during the sintering of Al2O3 ceramics with pre-sintering of the additives Nb2O5 and LiF at different temperatures. It was observed through XRD and DSC the formation of the LiNb3O8, Nb3O7F and... more
A series of polycarboxylate ether-based copoly-mers that include acrylic acid, 2-acrylamido-2-methylpropane sulfonic acid, and polyethylene glycol-1000 was synthesized, and the performance of these copolymers as rheology modifiers in... more
Nanocomposites based on low-density polyethylene (LDPE), containing 0.5, 1, 2, 3, and 5 wt of nanoalumina, were prepared by melt-mixing at 125°C and hot melt-pressing to thin polymer film at 125°C. To enhance the interfacial interaction... more
In November 2010 a keynote lecture was presented by the author on the failure of the dam of the red mud reservoir No. 10 of the Ajka Alumina Refinery in the course of the XVIII th Symposium of ICSOBA in Zhengzhou, China. Based on this... more
The present work was aimed to assess the influence of Si content, superheat, modification and mould preheat temperature on the fluidity. The fluidity spirals were made using alumina filler materials and the colloidal silica binder. The... more
This study aimed to compare the biomechanical behaviour of functionally graded structured posts (FGSPs) and homogenous-type posts in simulated models of a maxillary central incisor. Two models of FGSPs consisting of a multilayer xTi-yHA... more
A two-step electrochemical anodisation approach was adopted in this work to create a series of highly ordered mesopores etched with different diameter (60 to 160 nm) and uniform nanotube length in anodised aluminium oxide (AAO). The... more
A 3D model for intergranular thermal stresses in coarse polycrystalline alumina has been derived using Diffraction Contrast Tomography. Larger tensile thermal strains develop when the (0001) pole of adjacent grains lies closer to the... more
Doped nano alumina powders were successfully deposited as a thick film by electrophoretic deposition (EPD). A mixture of ethanol, cation salts of alumina dopants and iodine was used for dispersion system. Mg-Y-La-and Ce-salts add to... more
The present invention discloses a dental post fabricated of metal-ceramic functionally graded composite material. The dental post and method of fabrication and installation of the post were devised to enable a dental post to be... more
It has been demonstrated that carbon (C) doped aluminium oxide (Al2O3) nanocomposite (C0.012 wt%) had greater wear resistance and lower surface grains pull out percentage when compared with monolithic Al2O3. In the present study, we... more
A B S T R A C T Graphene was prepared using liquid phase exfoliation and dispersed in an alumina matrix using an ultrasonication and powder processing route. Al 2 O 3 –graphene composites with up to 5 vol% content were densified (>99%)... more
Boron doped PVA/Zr-Al acetate nanofibers were prepared by electrospinning using PVA as a precursor. The effect of calcination temperature on morphology and crystal structure was investigated at 250, 500, and 800 °C. The study also... more
Os processos de síntese química podem ser descritos como sendo atos de equilíbrio manipulados de acordo com determinadas especificações para criação de materiais ou produtos, um desempenho de equilíbrio de fótons, elétrons e partículas em... more
Dip coating investment slurry composition is important parameter to judge the performance of ceramic shell moulding process. The paper presents the use of an industrial waste, namely coal flyash for the investment casting. Experiments... more
Surface modification and characterization of engineering components using high energy beams is an ever expanding and innovative area of research. Laser surface modification of plasma sprayed alumina coatings were carried out for... more
Sodium bentonite is recognized as a natural pozzolan that can improve the mechanical properties of cemented materials due to its fineness and high content of silica and alumina. When mixed with cement paste in an appropriate amount, it is... more
ABSTRACT The three-dimensional deformation beneath a Vickers indentation in polycrystalline alumina has been measured, in situ, by digital volume correlation of high resolution synchrotron X-ray computed tomographs. The displacement... more
