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…
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…
Microstructural investigation of the aging behavior of composites
Sylvain Deville, Jérôme Chevalier, Christelle Dauvergne +4
The low temperature autoclave aging behavior of zirconia toughened alumina composites processed by a classical powder mixing processing route was analyzed using atomic force micros…
