Tribological properties of an alumina-added apatite-wollastonite glass-ceramic produced by controlled heat treatment of a glass in the system MgO-CaO-SiO(2)-P(2)O(5)-Al(2)O(3) have been evaluated and compared with those of selected commercial dental ceramics, Duceragold and IPS Empress. Tribological tests were performed in dry condition and in simulated body fluid (SBF) using a pin-on-disk apparatus. The friction coefficient and specific wear rate of the tested materials were measured in dry and in artificial saliva (simulated body fluid: SBF) in order to elucidate the appropriateness of the alumina-added apatite-wollastonite (A-W) glass-ceramic for dental applications. Wear rate of the materials investigated varied from 0.96 x 10(-4) mm(3) N(-1) m to 41.37 x 10(-4) mm(3) N(-1) m depending on the bioenvironmental test conditions. The results of this study revealed that the alumina-added A-W glass-ceramic becomes more wear resistant as sintering temperature is increased and exhibits tribological properties similar to those of the commercial dental materials investigated.

Electronic properties of polyamide-PPy/metal junction and electrical conductivity of a typical sample at low temperatures
SÜNEL, NACİ; SEDEF, AHMET YASİN; Parlak, Mehmet; Toppare, Levent Kamil (Elsevier BV, 2005-05-15)
Electronic properties of junctions fabricated by polyamide-polypyrrole composite films polymerized with adjusted doping concentration and various metal contacts (In, Al, Au and Ag) were investigated. For the junctions giving good rectification I-0, n and phi(b) were specified. Conductivity of polyamide-polypyrrole composite polymer was obtained as a function of temperature in the 70-320 K range and was found to obey the VRH model. In addition the Mott parameters were evaluated.
Tribological properties of MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-F-based glass-ceramic for dental applications
Park, Jongee; Öztürk, Abdullah (Elsevier BV, 2007-04-01)
Microhardness and tribological behavior of a glass-ceramic produced from a glass in the MgO-CaO-SiO2-P2O5-F system have been investigated with regard to the phases formed and microstructure developed during crystallization. The results of X-ray diffraction analysis indicated that apatite and wollastonite are the predominant crystalline phases. Scanning electron microscopy examination revealed that the wollastonite crystal content decreases and apatite crystal content increases as the depth distance from the...

This paper documents the mechanical and electrical performance of self-sensing conductive polymer composites prepared with a low-cost technique and small hardware, able to considerably improve the dispersion and the surface adhesion of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in epoxy resin with respect to amine-modified CNTs and as-received CNTs. Surface treatment of the CNTs is performed using hexamethylene diamine, or a mix of sulfuric and nitric acid, and one of two surfactants (for the diamine treatment on...
A baseball-bat-like CdTe/TiO2 nanorods-based heterojunction core-shell solar cell
Karaagac, H.; Parlak, Mehmet; Aygun, L. E.; Ghaffari, M.; Biyikli, N.; Okyay, A. K. (Elsevier BV, 2013-08-01)
Rutile TiO2 nanorods on fluorine-doped thin oxide glass substrates via the hydrothermal technique were synthesized and decorated with a sputtered CdTe layer to fabricate a core-shell type n-TiO2/p-CdTe solar cell. Absorbance spectrum verified the absorption contribution of both TiO2 and CdTe to the absorption process. The solar cell parameters, such as open circuit voltage, short circuit current density, fill factor and power conversion efficiency were found to be 0.34 V , 1.27 mA cm(-2), 28% and 0.12%, res...
Heterojunction solar cells with integrated Si and ZnO nanowires and a chalcopyrite thin film
KARAAĞAÇ, Hakan; Parlak, Mehmet; YENGEL, Emre; Islam, M. Saif (Elsevier BV, 2013-06-15)
ZnO nanowires (NWs) have been successfully synthesized using a hydrothermal technique on both glass and silicon substrates initially coated with a sputtered ZnO thin film layer. Varying ZnO seed layer thicknesses were deposited to determine the effect of seed layer thickness on the quality of ZnO NW growth. The effect of growth time on the formation of ZnO NWs was also studied. Experimental results show that these two parameters have an important effect on formation, homogeneity and vertical orientation of ...
