  2. 1. The Microstructure of Metal Oxide Additive Silicon Nitride Ceramics

    Author : Maria Knutson Wedel; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; microstructure; SEM; HIP; TEM; ZrO2; Si3N4;

    Abstract : This work is concerned with Si3N4 ceramics fabricated with different metal oxide additives, viz. Y2O3, Al2O3, ZrO2 and ZrO2(+3 mol% Y2O3), which have been densified by hot isostatic pressing (HIP). READ MORE

  4. 2. Silicon nitride for total hip replacements

    Author : Maria Pettersson; Cecilia Persson; Håkan Engqvist; Staffan Jacobson; Kenneth Holmberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; SiNx; Si3N4; coatings; CoCr; Ti; alloy; tribology; wear; corrosion; dissolution; debris; hip; arthroplasty; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot materialvetenskap; Engineering Science with specialization in Materials Science;

    Abstract : For more than 50 years total hip replacements have been a common and successful procedure to increase patient mobility and quality of life. The 10-year implant survival rate is 97.8%. READ MORE

  5. 3. Spark plasma sintered ZrO2-SiO2 glass ceramics and Si3N4 bioceramics

    Author : Le Fu; Wei Xia; Håkan Engqvist; Jérôme Chevalier; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; ZrO2-SiO2 glass ceramic; high-strength; translucency; 3D nano-architecture; Si3N4 bioceramic; biodegradable; spark plasma sintering; Materialvetenskap; Materials Science;

    Abstract : This thesis focuses on elaboration and characterization of two types of bioceramics: one is ZrO2-SiO2 nanocrystalline glass ceramic (NCGC) for dental application. The goal is to develop new ZrO2-SiO2 NCGCs with a combination of high strength and high translucency; the other is biodegradable Si3N4 ceramics for spinal fusion. READ MORE

  6. 4. Wafer-level processing of ultralow-loss Si3N4

    Author : Marcello Girardi; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; waveguide; photonic integrated circuit; multilayer integration; ultralow loss; microcombs i; silicon nitride;

    Abstract : Photonic integrated circuits (PICs) are devices fabricated on a planar wafer that allow light generation, processing, and detection. Photonic integration brings important advantages for scaling up the complexity and functionality of photonic systems and facilitates their mass deployment in areas where large volumes and compact solutions are needed, e.

  7. 5. Spark Plasma Sintering of Si3N4-based Ceramics : Sintering mechanism-Tailoring microstructure-Evaluationg properties

    Author : Hong Peng; Zhijian (James) Shen; Mats Nygren; Michael J. Hoffmann; Stockholms universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; spark plasma sintering; silicon nitride ceramics; grain growth kinetic; superplasiticity; liqiud phase sintering; Chemistry; Kemi;

    Abstract : Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) is a promising rapid consolidation technique that allows a better understanding and manipulating of sintering kinetics and therefore makes it possible to obtain Si3N4-based ceramics with tailored microstructures, consisting of grains with either equiaxed or elongated morphology. The presence of an extra liquid phase is necessary for forming tough interlocking microstructures in Yb/Y-stabilised α-sialon by HP. READ MORE
