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…

Feasibility of designing composites from carbon nanotubes and nanodiamond clusters is discussed based on atomistic simulations. Depending on nanotube size and morphology, some types of open nanotubes can be chemically connected with different facets of diamond clusters. The geometrical relation between different types…

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…

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…
