Competing Damage Modes in All-Ceramic Crowns: Fatigue and Lifetime

November 15, 2004
Author(s)
Yu Zhang, Brian R. Lawn
A study is made of fracture from cyclic loading of WC spheres on the surfaces of brittle layers on compliant substrates, as representative of repetitive occlusal contact on dental crowns. Several damage modes radial cracks at both top surface and

A New 'Wrinkle' in Nanometrology

November 1, 2004
Author(s)
Christopher M. Stafford
Nanotechnology promises to revolutionize a growing set of materials applications ranging from electronics to drug delivery to ballistic protection. However, the quest to engineer mate-rials on the nanoscale (e.g., in the form of ultrathin films) is met

Control of Surface Properties Using Fluorinated Polymer Brushes Produced by Surface-Initiated Controlled Radical Polymerization

November 1, 2004
Author(s)
L Andruzzi, A Hexemer, X Li, Christopher K. Ober, E K. Kramer, Giancarlo Galli, E Chiellini, Daniel A. Fischer
Surface-grafted styrene-based homopolymer and diblock copolymer brushes bearing semifluorinated alkyl groups were synthesized by nitroxide-mediated controlled radical polymerization on planar silicon oxide surfaces. The polymer brushes were characterized

The Importance of Distributed Loading and Cantilever Angle in Piezo-Force Microscopy

November 1, 2004
Author(s)
B D. Huey, C Ramanujan, M Bobji, J Blendell, Grady S. White, R Szoszkiewicz, A Kulik
Piezo-force microscopy (PFM) is a variation of atomic force microscopy that is widely applied to investigate piezoelectric thin films at the nanometer scale. Curiously, PFM experiments are found to be remarkably sensitive to the position along the

Crystal Chemistry and Crystallography of the Aurivillius Phase Bi 5 AgNb 4 O 18

October 18, 2004
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Qingzhen Huang, Lawrence P. Cook, Igor Levin, James A. Kaduk, Alan D. Mighell, J Suh
Bi 5AgNb 4O 18 is a new phase, which was discovered during the phase equilibrium study of the Bi 2O 3-Ag 2O-Nb 2O 5 system. Bi 5AgNb 4O 18 was prepared at 750 C and is stable in air up to its melting temperature of 1160.1 5.0 C. Results of a Rietveld

Fatigue and Damage Tolerance of Y-TZP Ceramics in Layered Biomechanical Systems

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Yu Zhang, Antonia Pajares, Brian R. Lawn
The fatigue properties of fine-grain Y-TZP in cyclic flexural testing are studied. Comparative tests on a coarser-grain alumina provide a baseline control. A bilayer configuration with ceramic plates bonded to a compliant polymeric substrate and loaded

Lattice Dynamics in PbMg1/3Nb2/3O3

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
S A. Prosandeev, Eric J. Cockayne, Benjamin P. Burton, S Kamba, J Petzelt, Yu Yuzyuk, R S. Katiyar, S B. Vakhrushev

Tribochemistry Between Water and Si 3 N 4 and SiC: Induction Time Analysis

October 1, 2004
Author(s)
Richard S. Gates, Stephen M. Hsu
Avanced ceramics are being considered as one of the potential materials for high temperature steam engines. Silicon nitride and silicon carbide have demonstrated in laboratory bench wear tests that under low loads and medium speed conditions, water is an

In-Situ Soft X-Ray Studies of CO Oxidation on the Pt(111) Surface

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
D J. Burnett, A T. Capitano, A M. Gabelnick, A L. Marsh, Daniel A. Fischer, J L. Gland
Temperature programmed and isothermal fluorescence yield measurements have been used to characterize carbon monoxide oxidation on the Pt(111) surface for oxygen pressures from 0.027 Pa to 2.7 Pa over the 200 to 600 K temperature range. Carbon monoxide

Phase Equilibria of Ba-R-Cu-O-F-OH for Coated-Conductor Applications (R=Lanthanides and Y)

August 1, 2004
Author(s)
Winnie K. Wong-Ng, Lawrence P. Cook, Igor Levin, J Suh, Ron Feenstra, T J. Haugan, P. D. Barnes
Phase diagrams of the Ba 2RCu 3O 6+x (R=Nd, Sm, Gd, Y, and Er) superconductors, prepared under 0.1 % 0 2 at 810 C, reflect the trend of the lanthanide contraction. The single-phase regions of Ba 2-x(Nd 1+x-yR y) Cu 3O 6+z for R=Gd, Y and Yb, and Ba 2-x(R 1
