The infrared-optical properties and particularly the emissivity of sintered ceramics depend on the material's bulk properties and structural properties such as porosity, pore size distribution and pore diameter. The infrared-optical properties can be varied across a wide range by specifically selecting the material's bulk and structural properties. A major concern of the present study is the development of a ceramic coating material with a total emissivity below 0.2 at a temperature of 800 °C. For this purpose, various samples of a TiO2-Y2O3 (TY) ceramic composite were produced with different properties. On variation in the Y2O3 content from 5 to 60 wt%, the porosity of the ceramic composites varies from 3 % to 47 % with the mean pore diameter lying in a range from 0.3 µm to 1.7 µm. The addition of graphitic pore builders increases the porosity up to 60 % and the mean pore diameter to a maximum of 15 µm. By optimizing the total porosity and the pore size of the TY ceramics, a total emissivity as low as 0.17 at 800 °C could be achieved.
Transparent microspheres with the eutectic composition 65 Al2O3-16 Y2O3-19 ZrO2 (mol%) have been produced by laser fusing with a CO2 laser. The influence of the starting material – not pre-calcined and pre-calcined – as well as the laser power on the resulting microspheres – was investigated. After fabrication, the microspheres were analyzed by means of XRD to quantify the amorphous content of the spheres as well as to identify the residual crystalline phases, with a laser granulometer to measure the particle sizes of the starting material and the resulting microspheres, with DSC to characterize the glass transition temperature and crystallization behavior, and with SEM to investigate the microstructure of the microspheres. The laser-treated materials consist of transparent and opaque beads as well as sintered particles. The amorphous amount in the samples was detected to be ~ 85 %. Based on these results transparent beads were collected and annealed over a range of temperatures to analyze the crystallization behavior.
Advancements in the fields of biocompatible materials, manufacturing processes, computational methods and medicine have led to the emergence of a new field: micro-scale scaffolds for bone replacement and regeneration. Yet most such scaffolds produced today are characterized by very basic geometry, and their microstructure differs greatly from that of the actual tissue they are intended to replace. In this paper, we propose a novel approach for generating micro-scale scaffolds based on processing actual micro-CT images and then reconstructing a highly accurate geometrical model. This model is manufactured by means of a state-of-the-art 3D additive manufacturing process from biocompatible materials. At the micro-scale level, these scaffolds are very similar to the original tissue, thus interfacing better with the surrounding tissue and facilitating more efficient rehabilitation for the patient. Moreover, the approach facilitates the design and manufacture of patient-specific scaffolds which can copy patients exact structural and mechanical characteristics, taking into account their physical condition and medical history. By means of multi-resolution volumetric modeling methods, scaffold porosity can also be adapted according to specific mechanical requirements. The process of designing and manufacturing micro-scale scaffolds involves five major stages: (a) building a volumetric multi-resolution model from micro-CT images; (b) generation of surface geometric model in STL format; (c) additive manufacturing of the scaffold; (d) scaffold shape verification relative to the geometric design; and (e) verification of mechanical properties through finite element analysis. In this research, all the proposed stages of the approach were tested. The input included micro-CT scans of porous ceramic structure, which is quite similar to commercial porous scaffolds. The results show that the proposed method is feasible for design and manufacture of micro-scale scaffolds.
Highly porous (>60% open porosity) glass–ceramic scaffolds with remarkable mechanical properties (compression strength of ~15 MPa) were produced by indirect 3D printing. Precursor glass powders were printed into 3D ordered structures and then heat treated to sinter and develop crystalline phases. The final glass–ceramic contained a β-spodumene solid solution together with a secondary phase of lithium disilicate.
The precision of the printed geometry and the density of the struts in the scaffold depended on several processing parameters (e.g. powder size and flowability, layer thickness) and were improved by increasing the binder saturation and drying time. Two types of powders with different particle size distribution (PSD) and flowability were used. Powders with a larger PSD, could be processed within a wider range of printing parameters due to their good flowability; however, the printing precision and the struts density were lower compared to the scaffolds printed using the powder in a smaller average PSD.
