1. Grain Morphology and Intergranular Structure of Si3N4 and Al2O3 Based Ceramics
Abstract : This thesis concerns factors controlling the grain morphology in Si3N4 and Al2O3 based ceramics. The microstructures of the ceramics were characterized by scanning electron microscopy in combination with quantitative microscopy and stereologic methods. READ MORE

3. Functional properties of silicon nitride based materials for joint applications
Abstract : Total hip and total knee replacements are generally successful procedures for patients suffering with pain due to bone fracture or diseases affecting the joints. However, the materials that are commonly used still have limitations. In particular, corrosion products and wear debris may give rise to negative body reactions. READ MORE

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

5. The Microstructure of Metal Oxide Additive Silicon Nitride Ceramics
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
