Reliability assessment in advanced nanocomposite materials for orthopaedic applications
Jérôme Chevalier, Paola Taddei, Laurent Gremillard +8
Alumina-zirconia nano-composites were recently developed as alternative bearing materials for orthopedics. Previous, preliminary reports show that such alumina-zirconia nanocomposi…
Nanostructured Ceramic Oxides with a Slow Crack Growth Resistance Close to Covalent Materials
Jérôme Chevalier, Sylvain Deville, Gilbert Fantozzi +5
Oxide ceramics are sensitive to slow crack growth because adsorption of water can take place at the crack tip, leading to a strong decrease of the surface energy in humid (or air)…
Atomic force microscopy study of the surface degradation mechanisms of zirconia based ceramics
Sylvain Deville, Jérôme Chevalier, Gilbert Fantozzi +3
Atomic force microscopy (AFM) can be used to characterise several aspects of the surface degradation and reinforcement mechanisms of zirconia based ceramics, such as crack propagat…
Martensitic transformation in zirconia. Part I: nanometer scale prediction and measurement of transformation induced relief
Sylvain Deville, Gérard Guénin, Jérôme Chevalier
We investigate by atomic force microscopy (AFM) the surface relief resulting from martensitic tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation induced by low temperature autoclave agi…
Martensitic transformation in zirconia. Part II: Martensite growth
Sylvain Deville, Gérard Guénin, Jérôme Chevalier
Though the martensitic transformation in zirconia has been the object of a very large number of studies for the last decades, qualitative and quantitative observations of the forma…
Accelerated Aging in 3 mol%-Yttria-Stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia Ceramics Sintered in Reducing Conditions
José Bartolomé, Isabel Montero, Marcos Diaz +6
The aging behavior of 3-mol%-yttria-stabilized tetragonal zirconia (3Y-TZP) ceramics sintered in air and in reducing conditions was investigated at 140°C in water vapor. It was obs…
