Dense zirconia ceramic blocks were produced by pressureless sintering at temperatures down to 1350- 1450 oC for dental applications. The effect(s) of integration of cold isostatic pressing (CIP’ing) to the production procedure of the zirconia blocks was researched by applying 80, 100, and 150 MPa isostatic pressure. The effect of color infiltration solutions (NiCl2 and MoCl3 solutions) on color and low temperature degradation properties of zirconia was investigated. Tetragonal to monoclinic phase transformation was identified by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The microstructure and grain size of the samples were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Density was measured by Archimedes method. Compressive strength, Vickers hardness, and fracture toughness were evaluated with respect to sintering temperature. Color assessments were made by measuring CIE Lab L*, a*, b* and ΔE* values. Hydrothermal degradation sensitivity of the samples were evaluated by performing LTD test. Result of the XRD and SEM analyses as well as density, hardness, and fracture toughness measurements revealed that 100 MPa CIP pressure and 1450 oC sintering temperature were the optimum parameters for the production of 3 mol % yttria stabilized zirconia ceramic blocks. A block produced at 100 MPa CIP pressure and subsequently sintered at 1450 oC revealed 99.86 % theoretical density. Coloring solutions containing 0.1 and 0.25 wt % MoCl3 provided clinically acceptable color for dental applications with the ΔE* value ranging from 5.16 to 6.42. Aging sensitivity LTD tests revealed that both colored and uncolored samples are compatible with the standards.

Production and properties of tooth-colored yttria stabilized zirconia ceramics for dental applications Kaplan, Melis; PARK, JONGEE; Kim, Soo Young; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2018-02-01) Dense zirconia stabilized with 3 mol% yttria ceramics were produced in disc shape by first cold isostatically pressing at 100 MPa and then sintering at 1450 degrees C at ambient laboratory conditions. Coloring was accomplished by immersion the discs in NiCl2, MoCl3, and NiCl2 + MoCl3 solutions for 5, 30, and 60 s. Different concentrations (0.1, 0.25, and 0.5 wt%) were applied to get the color of natural tooth. The density, color, microhardness, fracture toughness, compressive strength, and wear rate of the ...
Production and characterization of magnesium oxychloride cement bricks for fine polishing of porcelain stoneware tiles Özer, Mehmet Bülent; Öztürk, Abdullah (2011-09-01) Magnesium oxychloride cement (MOC) polishing bricks developed for fine polishing of porcelain stoneware tiles were produced and characterized with respect to MgO/MgCl(2), molar ratio of 6/7, 7/1, and 8/1. X-Ray diffraction analysis revealed that the main crystalline phase formed in the bricks was 5Mg(OH)(2)center dot MgCl(2)center dot 8H(2)O. Density, abrasion resistance, compressive strength, and chemical durability in water of the MOC bricks were determined to provide information on polishing behavior. Po...
Formation and characterization of infrared absorbing copper oxide surfaces Arslan, Burcu; Erdogan, Metehan; Karakaya, İshak (2017-04-30) Copper oxide formation has been investigated to combine the advantages of producing different size and shapes of coatings that possess good light absorbing properties. An aqueous blackening solution was investigated and optimum composition was found as 2.5 M NaOH and 0.225 M NaClO to form velvet copper oxide films. A two-step oxidation mechanism was proposed for the blackening process by carefully examining the experimental results. Formation of Cu2O was observed until the entire copper surface was covered ...
Preparation of iron oxide nanoparticles by microwave synthesis and their characterization Acarbas, Ozge; Ozenbas, Macit (American Scientific Publishers, 2008-02-01) In this study production of fine particle Fe2O3 via microwave processing of Fe(NO3)(3)center dot nH(2)O followed by low temperature annealing was reported. XRD was used to characterize the structural properties of nanoparticles. Approximate particle sizes were between 3-13 nm according to Scherrer's equation. Single point BET measurement results also show that samples have large surface area and they are nanometer sized particles. TEM study was conducted to examine the structure of the nanoparticles. TEM fi...
MELT BLENDING OF ULTRA-HIGH-MOLECULAR-WEIGHT AND HIGH-DENSITY POLYETHYLENE - THE EFFECT OF MIXING RATE ON THERMAL, MECHANICAL, AND MORPHOLOGICAL PROPERTIES TINCER, T; COSKUN, M (1993-10-01) The blends of two different ultra high molecular weight polyethylenes (UHMWPE) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) were prepared in melt at different compositions and mixing rates in Brabender Torque Rheometer. The temperature build-up due to the internal friction during melt blending was recorded and evaluated with respect to the change in the torque. The temperature at maximum torque was considered the fusion point temperature of the UHMWPE in the blend. This fusion point temperature was found to depend ...
