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…
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…
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…
Low-temperature ageing of zirconia-toughened alumina ceramics and its implication in biomedical implants
Sylvain Deville, Jérôme Chevalier, Gilbert Fantozzi +5
Changes in crystalline phases resulting from low-temperature ageing of different yttria doped and non-doped zirconia-toughened alumina composites and nanocomposites were investigat…
