Calcium phosphates and bioactive glasses have been used in many biomedical applications for more than 30 years due basically to their bioactive behavior. However, ceramics are too brittle for applications that require high levels of toughness and easy processability. In this work, a biphasic calcium phosphate (BCP) an…

Doped ceria (CeO2) compounds are fluorite type oxides which show oxide ionic conductivity higher than yttria stabilized zirconia, in oxidizing atmosphere. As a consequence of this, considerable interest has been shown in application of these materials for 'low temperature operation (500–650 °C)' of solid oxide fuel ce…

Hydroxyapatite (HA) whiskers with uniform morphology and good crystallinity were successfully prepared by a precipitation-hydrolysis method in moderately acid solution at 85-95 °C for 48-120 h, their lengths were in the range of 50-150 mum and aspect ratios (length/diameter) in the range of 40-100. The precipitates fo…

As-quenched Fe90Zr7B3 alloy has been crystallized at 773, 923 and 973 K, it is found that the specimens annealed at 773 and 923 K have grains with the same size, but the one annealed at 773 K has a thick amorphous matrix and a broad grain size distribution. Big domains and smooth domain walls are observed in the speci…

A range of simple aromatic amines were used to modify Pt microcylinders with insulating electrosynthesised polymers generated amperometrically in the presence or absence of a typical globular protein, bovine serum albumin (BSA), at neutral pH. Sensitivity to a typical interference species, ascorbic acid (AA), and the…

The phase evolution of yttrium oxide and lanthanum oxide doped zirconia (Y2O3–ZrO2 and La2O3–ZrO2, respectively) from their tetragonal to monoclinic phase has been studied using UV Raman spectroscopy, visible Raman spectroscopy and XRD. UV Raman spectroscopy is found to be more sensitive at the surface region while vi…

The influence of the pH at the electrode/solution interface on precipitation by means of electrochemistry was studied both theoretically and experimentally in pure calcocarbonic aqueous solutions. This interfacial pH was measured at the electrode by using a pH sensor-grid assembly in a submerged impinging cell. A mode…

Ten homologues of a new class of asymmetric bent-shaped compounds have been synthesized. Their mesophase behaviour was investigated by polarizing microscopy, X-ray diffraction, dielectric and electro-optical measurements. The long-chain members of the series C8–C16 exhibit the switchable antiferroelectric SmCP phase.…
