Anodized Zirconia NanostructuresChoudhury, Tanushree H January 2013 (has links) (PDF)
Electrochemical anodization is a facile technique to synthesize ordered oxide nanostructures. Though the number of materials exhibiting anodized nanostructures has increased considerably in the recent years, only nanoporous alumina and nanotubular titania have been investigated extensively for various applications. Anodized nanostructures, nanotubes and nanopores, of zirconia are also of considerable interest for applications such as templates, sensors and solid-oxide fuel cells. In spite of the potential applications of zirconia, these nanostructures have been barely studied. As most of these applications require elevated temperatures in excess of 400C, thermal stability becomes an important attribute. Even though zirconia (Tm=2715C) has as higher melting point than alumina(Tm = 2072C), literature reports and initial research showed that the thermal stability of anodized zirconia was limited to 500C-1 h compared to 1000C-4 h for alumina. The work carried out as a part of this research showed that halide ions used in the synthesis are the possible cause for the lower thermal stability. Chemical treatment of the zirconia membranes to neutralize the halide ions helped enhance the stability to 1000C-1 h, thus, improving their usability for most of the applications mentioned above. Most of the current reported work on aluminum, zirconium, and titanium is predominantly limited to anodization of foils which can only yield free-standing nanostructures. As synthesis of these nanostructures on a substrate would further facilitate their usage, supported anodized zirconia nanostructures were synthesized by anodizing sputtered zirconium films. This study showed that the anodized morphology depends strongly on the sputtered film microstructure, which changes in accordance with the Thornton’s zone diagrams. A general approach thus developed is expected to be applicable to anodization of all metallic films. Most applications involving zirconia also require stabilization against a tetragonal-monoclinic phase transformation by suitable alloying such as with yttria. Towards this end, routes to develop anodized yttria-stabilized zirconia nanostructures, which are nonexistent, were explored. The synthesis of yttria stabilized zirconia nanostructures with no detectable monoclinic phase was achieved. Yttrium alloying using a solution treatment was found to enhance stability of the supported nanostructures to 900C-16 h, which makes it possible to now evaluate these nanostructures, especially for micro-SOFC applications.

The effect of zirconia surface treatment on bond strength of various cement systemsTashkandi, Abeer Khaled M. 05 August 2021 (has links)
OBJECTIVES: The aim of this in-vitro study is to evaluate the effect of different zirconia surface pretreatments, different cement types and the effect of accelerated aging on the adherence of bonding cements to zirconia.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: 64 zirconia 3Y-TZP tapered rings were pressed from TZ-3YSB-E zirconia powder, pre-treated with different surface treatments, then cemented to titanium abutment pins using 8 different cements: Maxcem Elite chroma (Kerr), TheraCem (Bisco), RelyX Unicem2 (3M ESPE), Multilink Automix (Ivoclar Vivadent), Panavia SA Cement Plus (Kuraray), Ceramir C&B (Doxa), CemEZ Universal (Zest Dental), and Bifix SE (VOCO). The partitally sintered zirconia specimens were divided according to design of experment (DOE). Zirconia surface treatments: 1) control group with no surface treatment, 2) airborne particle abrasion of fully sintered zirconia ring (FS-APA50), 3) airborne particle abrasion of partially sintered zirconia (PS-APA50), 4) tribochemical silica coating of fully sintered zirconia (FS-CoJet30), 5) tribochemical silica coating of partial sintered zirconia (PS-CoJet30), and 6) nano-structured alumina coating of fully sintered zirconia (NanoAl). Zirconia rings were subjected to post-treatment:1) control 24h incubation after cementing proceedure, and 2) accelerated aging . The pull-out axial tensile retention load was tested using an Instron Model 5566A. Multi factorial linear regression model (JMP Pro 15) was used for data analysis (α=0.05).
RESULTS: The retention force (N) of zirconia rings to titanium abutment pins was evaluated using a pull-out test. Four key factors were investigated in this study: zirconia surface pre-treatment, cement type, post-treatment and firing effect. There was a significant effect of zirconia surface pre-treatment on retention force (nano-structured alumina coating ≥ tribochemical abrasion = airborne-particle abrasion ≥ control). There was a significant effect of cement type on retention force [Multilink AM ≥ (Cem EZ = TheraCem = Panivia SA = RelyX Unicem2 = BiFix) ≥ Ceramir CB = Maxcem Elite]. There is a significant difference in retention strength to zirconia among post-treatment effect, with accelerated aging groups achieving slightly higher bond strength than 24h water storage groups.
CONCLUSIONS: Significant different retention loads were found among tested groups. Nano-structured alumina coating surface pre-treatment has significantly higher bond strength than other treatments. Some cement systems with functional monomer had significant higher bond strengths.

Effect of real time aging and cyclic fatigue on fused and cemented machined veneers to Y-TZP zirconiaAlhaddad, Abdulrahman Jafar M. 28 September 2016 (has links)
OBJECTIVES: The objectives of this study was to determine the differences in failure load between cemented and fused machined veneers to zirconia while observing the effects of real time aging on failure load between cemented and fused machined veneers to zirconia. The study was to examine the differences in aging and fatigue resistance amongst a machined glass-ceramic veneer and a machined feldspathic porcelain veneer.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: VITA In Ceram YZ zirconia blocks were used as a substructure framework for the three unit fixed partial denture. The veneering material was either milled IPS e.max CAD (glass-ceramic) or milled VITABLOCS Triluxe Forte (feldspathic porcelain). The types of linking material between the substructures and veneering material were either fusing or cementation. Observations were compared between aged and non-aged specimens divided into two main groups; (a) non-aged group (b) aged for three years at room temperature. Each group has two subgroups; fused and cemented which are further divided into static and cyclic fatigue at 20K, 60K and 80K. Specimens were subjected to load to failure test using universal test machine. 40% of failure load was calculated for the cyclic fatigue subgroups. In order to examine the difference in failure load between the static and fatigued specimens, the Tukey-Kramer HSD test was used to analyze the data.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The VITABLOCS Triluxe Forte (feldspathic porcelain) fused to YZ zirconia showed significantly lower failure load values compared to all the other groups (p˂0.05). The non-aged VITABLOCS Triluxe Forte cemented to YZ zirconia (static and cyclic) showed significantly higher load to failure than the aged cemented Triluxe fatigued groups (p˂0.05). There is no significant difference in failure load between IPS e.max CAD fused and IPS e.max CAD cemented to YZ zirconia framework (p˃0.05). The aged IPS e.max CAD fatigued (20K, 60K and 80K cycles) cemented to YZ zirconia showed lower significant difference in failure load among all the other IPS e.max groups. (p˂0.05).

Influence of phosphoric acid surface treatment on shear bond strength durability of resin cement to zirconia-based ceramic conditioned with different primersAlshehri, Eman Zuhair January 2015 (has links)
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI) / BACKGROUND: Phosphoric acid treatment has been reported to be relevant for
zirconia cleaning after contamination. However, its interaction with different primers is
not well known and needs to be investigated. OBJECTIVES: To compare the shear bond
strengths (SBS) of resin cement to Y-TZP after phosphoric acid pretreatment and
different chemical conditioning protocols, and to test the durability of SBSs after long
term storage and thermal cycling conditions. To investigate the effect of phosphoric acid
75
on the surface roughness of a yttrium-stabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystal ceramic
(Y-TZP). METHODS: Sixty bars of zirconia (30 X 5 X 2 mm) were polished and glued
to acrylic tubes. Each bar received 3 different surface treatments (control, phosphoric
acid and air-abrasion). The bars were randomly assigned into five groups according to
different primers applied (No primer, Clearfil ceramic primer, Monobond Plus, Z-prime
plus and AZ primer). After that, resin cement was mixed, injected into a mold, and light
cured. The specimens were tested in shear on a universal testing machine. Half of the
specimens were tested after 24 h water storage and the other half were tested after 90
days of water storage and thermocycling. Non-contact profilometer was used to assess
the effect of the three surface pretreatments on surface roughness of zirconia. Mode of
failure and surface roughness were evaluated with SEM. Statistical analyses were
conducted with mixed-model ANOVA and chi-square tests. RESULTS: The results
indicated that Monobond Plus primer showed higher SBS after phosphoric acid
treatment compared to other primers used. SBS of all air abrasion groups were higher
than phosphoric acid groups. Long term water storage and thermocycling led to a
statistically significant decrease in SBS for all groups except Monobond Plus, Z-prime
plus and AZ primer after air abrasion treatment. Surface roughness measurements showed
no significant differences among the surface treatments. CONCLUSION: Monobond Plus
provided the highest SBS to zirconia after phosphoric acid treatment. The findings
suggest that the air abrasion is the best surface treatment after contamination of zirconia
surface. Monobond Plus, Z-prime plus and AZ primer showed durable SBS after air
abrasion treatment and aging process.

TITANIUM AND ZIRCONIA PARTICLE RELEASE FROM IMPLANT SURFACES DURING ER: YAG LASER DECONTAMINATIONTan, Ying Rui January 2021 (has links)
Introduction: The prevalence of implant treatment has increased tremendously over the past few decades. In the process of either treating peri-implantitis or during the implant maintenance phase, it has been noted that certain implant decontamination methods may generate particles from implant surfaces. This may result in potential for disease exacerbation and irreversible damage to the implant surface. Although the Er: YAG (erbium-doped yttrium aluminum garnet) laser has been considered to have the best properties for the decontamination of the implant surface, there is limited data on the amount of titanium and zirconia particles that can be generated and released in the process.
Purpose: The aim of this in vitro study was to investigate the possible generation of titanium and zirconia particles when the Er:YAG laser is used as a tool for implant decontamination and to assess for any possible surface alterations that may have resulted from the use of the Er:YAG laser.
Materials and Methods: Six (N=6) Ti-Zirconium alloy (Roxolid®; Straumann® USA) and six (N=6) yttra-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (PURE® Ceramic; Straumann® USA) machined material discs, as well as two (N=2) expired Ti sandblasted acid-treated implants (Ti SLA® Implant; Straumann USA) and two (N=2) expired acid-etched zirconium-dioxide ceramic implants (PURE® Ceramic ZLA® Implant; Straumann® USA) were irradiated with the Er:YAG laser (LiteTouchTM) using the gentle treatment mode for implant decontamination for 30 and 60 seconds. The coolant water generated during laser irradiation was collected and filtered through polycarbonate track etch (PCTE) hydrophilic membrane filters using a vacuum filtration assembly unit. The PCTE membranes were then analyzed for presence of titanium and zirconia particles using a Field Emission Gun Scanning Electron Microscope (FEG-SEM). The elemental composition of the particles was compared with that of the implants and discs using Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The surfaces of the discs and implants were also inspected for morphological alterations. The average surface roughness (Ra, Ry, Rz) of the discs before and after laser application were measured using a 2-dimensional surface profilometer. A paired sample t-test was used for statistical analysis to compare the surface roughness values before and after laser application.
Results: No titanium or zirconia particles were collected after laser irradiation of the material discs after laser irradiation. Titanium and zirconia particles were detected after laser irradiation on the implants. There were no surface topographical alterations evident at higher magnification for the titanium and zirconia material discs, and implants after laser irradiation. There was a statistically significant decrease in all surface roughness parameters measured (Ra, Ry, Rz) after 60 seconds of laser irradiation for the zirconia discs.
Conclusions: Within the limitations of this study, the Er:YAG laser used in gentle treatment mode for implant decontamination resulted in no visible damages to the titanium and zirconia implant surfaces. There were some titanium and zirconia particles produced during the laser irradiation on implants but no produced over discs. Additional in-vitro and clinical studies will have to be conducted to assess the clinical significance of these particles. / Oral Biology

Effect of glazes on mechanical and physical properties of various full contour zirconia materials subjected to low temperature degradationSuleiman, Muad Mohamed A. 11 August 2022 (has links)
OBJECTIVES: To evaluate different surface treatment effects on physical and mechanical properties of various types of zirconia subjected to hydrothermal aging.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: This is an in vitro study on four different types of monolithic zirconia material: VITA-Zahnfabrik VITA-YZ T, VITA-YZ HT, VITA-YZ ST, VITA-YZ XT. A total of 240-disc specimens were prepared by core-drilling and sectioned with a diamond blade. Specimens were sintered according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. Half of the specimens in each group were then glazed and subjected to low temperature degradation. Three different locations were evaluated for surface roughness each group of the four different materials by using Mitutoyo SJ-201 contact profilometer with a 5μm diamond stylus tip. A Bruker D2 Phaser diffractometer was used for X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurements. Crystallographic phase identification and analysis were performed through Rietveld refinements on XRD raw data. Biaxial flexural strength was determined and the fractography was analyzed. Descriptive data such as surface roughness, crystallographic phase contents, and flexural strength were indicated as mean and standard deviation (SD). Statistical analysis was performed using multi-way ANOVA and linear regression model followed by the post hoc Tukey tests.
RESULTS: All VITA YZ zirconia non-glazed control specimens showed higher means of biaxial flexural strength values compared to glazed specimens. VITA YZ HT specimens showed the highest mean of biaxial flexural strength in this study with values of 781 – 1305 MPa. On the other hand, VITA YZ XT expressed the lowest mean of biaxial flexural strength values of 466 – 972 MPa. The surface roughness of monolithic VITA YZ materials was statistically significantly low for the various zirconia materials. Aging of various zirconia materials showed statistically significant effect of aging on glazed specimens was not statistically significant. There was no significant difference in the tetragonal phase content of all VITA YZ materials (p > 0.05). There was significant difference in the cubic phase content of all VITA YZ materials (p < 0.05). On the other hand, aging process as well as the interaction between the material type and aging had no significant effect on the cubic phase content of YZ specimens (p > 0.05). There was significant difference in the rhombohedral phase of all VITA YZ materials as well as aging process (p < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONS: Biaxial flexural strength was significantly affected by glazing, type of material, treatment protocol. Biaxial flexural strength was significantly affected by the interaction between type of material and treatment protocol, glazing and type of material.
The VITA YZ ST control had the lowest surface roughness among all the groups. The difference was statistically significant.
The type of material, aging, and the interaction effect between the material and aging were significantly different for XRD in non-glazed material.
The VITA YZ T showed the lowest mean of yttrium oxide (Y2O3) molecular fraction. On the other hand, YZ XT showed the highest mean of Yttrium oxide (Y2O3) molecular fraction.

Evaluation of translucency in various monolithic ceramics materialsMohammad, Mohammad B. 01 April 2024 (has links)
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM: There is no international standardized guidance to quantify translucency in dentistry. Numerous non-standardized terms are being used to describe the degree of translucency by the manufacturers. This makes it hard for the dental community to find definite and compare easy information.
PURPOSE: To attempt exploring the standardization of the quantification of translucency in dental ceramics by comparing various optical property measurements including Contrast Ratio (CR), Translucency Parameter (TP) and transmission, gloss and surface roughness and by investigating the relationship between thickness, polish grade and translucency.
MATERIAL AND METHODS: Four monolithic zirconia materials were used in this study; VITA-YZ Translucent, High Translucent, Super Translucent and Extra Translucent. IPS e.max CAD HT was used as a control. Specimens for each of these materials were prepared in 125 µm, 70 µm, 15 µm, and 0.5 µm polished surface in the following thicknesses: 1.00 mm, 0.75 mm, 0.50 mm and 0.35 mm thickness. Each group contained 10 specimens and the following tests were completed: transmission, CR and TP using a X-rite Ci6700 spectrophotometer, surface roughness by profilometer and gloss index by a glossmeter. Data was analyzed by using two-way ANOVA for different groups and Tukey’s for paired groups. Coefficient of absorption and loss of reflectance ratio were calculated.
RESULTS: Reducing thickness and increasing polishing grade increase translucency. Material type, thickness and polishing grade significantly affected the translucency. A strong positive (r=0.99) linear correlation between transmission and TP was determined and these have a strong negative (r=-0.99) linear correlation with CR.
CONCLUSION: Thickness, polishing grade and material type are major contributing factors to the translucency of ceramics. E.max HT is significantly more translucent than zirconia. Transmission is viable to be used as a standardized measurement of translucency with standardized material settings of 1mm thickness and optical polishing (polishing grade of 0.5 µm or its equivalent).

A Surface Science Approach to Understanding Emission Control Catalyst Deactivation Due to Sulfation of Ceria-Zirconia Mixed-Metal OxidesRomano, Esteban Javier 08 May 2004 (has links)
Cerium and zirconium oxides are materials that have unique catalytic properties and are finding many applications in industrial catalysis. Particularly, the great advances attained in the past 30 years in curbing the amount of gaseous pollutants released can be attributed to the development of catalysts employing such materials. However, oxides of sulfur are known poisons of many catalytic systems and are encountered in many commercial applications. In this investigation, polycrystalline ceria-zirconia solid solutions of various molar ratios were synthesized. High resolution x-ray photoemission spectra were obtained and examined to reveal the surface species that form on these metal oxides after exposure to sulfur dioxide under various conditions. The model catalysts are exposed to sulfur dioxide using an in-situ high-pressure reaction cell. A reliable sample platen heater was designed to allow the observation of any temperature dependency up to 673 K. The results of this study demonstrate the formation of sulfate and sulfite adsorbed sulfur species. Temperature and compositional dependencies are also displayed, with higher temperatures and ceria mole fractions displaying a larger propensity for the formation of surface sulfur species.
