Statement of problem. Interfacial toughness is important in the mechanical property of layered dental ceramics such as core-veneered all-ceramic dental materials. The interfaces between adjacent layers must be strongly bonded to prevent delamination, however the weak interface makes delamination by the growth of lateral cracks along the interface. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of the reaction layer on the interfacial fracture toughness of the core/veneer structure according to the five different divesting. Materials and methods. Thirty five heat-pressed Lithia-based ceramic core bars (IPS Empress 2), $20mm{\times}3mm{\times}2mm$ were made following the five different surface divesting conditions. G1 was no dissolution or sandblasting of the interaction layer. G2 and G3 were dissolved layer with 0.2% HF in an ultrasonic unit for 15min and 30 min. G4 and G5 were dissolved layer for 15min and 30min and then same sandblasting for 60s each. We veneered bilayered ceramic bars, $20mm{\times}2.8mm{\times}3.8mm$(2mm core and 1.8mm veneer), according to the manufacturer's instruction. After polishing the specimens through $1{\mu}m$ alumina, we induced five cracks for each of five groups within the veneer close to interface under an applied indenter load of 19.6N with a Vickers microhardness indenter. Results. The results from Vickers hardness were the percentage of delamination G1:55%, G2:50%, G3:35%, G4:0% and G5:0%. SEM examination showed that the mean thickness of the reaction layer were G1 $93.5{\pm}20.6{\mu}m$, G2 $69.9{\pm}14.3{\mu}m$, G3 $59.2{\pm}20.2{\mu}m$, G4 $0.61{\pm}1.44{\mu}m$ G5 $0{\pm}0{\mu}m$. The mean interfacial delamination crack lengths were G1 $131{\pm}54.5{\mu}m$, G2 $85.2{\pm}51.3{\mu}m$, and G3 $94.9{\pm}81.8{\mu}m$. One-way ANOVA showed that there was no statistically significant difference in interfacial crack length among G1, G2 and G3(p> 0.05). Conclusion. The investment reaction layer played important role at the interfacial toughness of body ceramic bonded to Lithia-based ceramic.

An experimental study was conducted to develop an understanding of failure of ceramic coating when subjected to a thermal cycling. Number of cycles to failure were decreased as the coating thickness and the oxide of bond coat were increased. Using the finite element method, an analysis of stress distribution in ceramic coatings was performed. Radial compressive stress was increased in the top/bond coat interface with increasing coating thickness and oxide of bond coat.

Silicon carbide films were deposited by low pressure chemical vapor deposition(LPCVD) using MTS(CH3SICl3) in hydrogen atmosphere on (100) Si substrate. To prevent the unstable interface from being formed on the substrate, the experiments were performed through three deposition processes which were the deposition on 1) as received Si, 2) low temperature grown SiC, and 3) carbonized Si by C2H2. The microstructure of the interface between Si substrates and SiC films was observed by SEM and the adhesion between Si substrates and SiC films was measured through scratch test. The SiC films deposited on the low temperature grown SiC thin films, showed the stable interfacial structures. The interface of the SiC films deposited on carbonized Si, however, was more stable and showed better adhesion than the others. In the case of the low temperature growth process, the optimum condition was 120$0^{\circ}C$ on carbonized Si by 3% C2H2, at 105$0^{\circ}C$, 5 torr, 10 min, showed the most stable interface. As a result of XRD analysis, it was observed that the preferred orientation of (200) plane was increased with Si carbonization. On the basis of the experimental results, the models of defect formation in the process of each deposition were compared.

Ceramic Matrix Composites (CMCs) represent a class of non-brittle refractory materials for harsh and extreme environments in aerospace and other applications. The quasi-ductility of these structural materials depends on the quality of the interface between the matrix and the fiber surface. In this study, a manufacture route is described where in contrast to most other processes no additional fiber coating is used to adjust the fiber/matrix interfaces in order to obtain damage tolerance and fracture toughness. Adapted microstructures of uncoated carbon fiber preforms were developed to permit the rapid infiltration of molten alloys and the subsequent reaction with the carbon matrix. Furthermore, any direct reaction between the melt and fibers was minimized. Using pure silicon as the reactive melt, C/SiC composites were manufactured with an aim of employing the resulting composite for friction applications. This paper describes the formation of the microstructure inside the C/C preform and resulting C/C-SiC composite, in addition to the MAX phases.

An aim of the study is to develop an efficient numerical simulation technique that can handle the two-scale analysis of fluid permeation filters fabricated by the partial sintering technique of small spherical ceramics. A solid-fluid mixture homogenization method is introduced to predict the mechanical characters such as rigidity and permeability of the porous ceramic filters from the micro-scale geometry and configuration of partially-sintered particles. An extended finite element (X-FE) discretization technique based on the enriched interpolations of respective characteristic functions at fluid-solid interfaces is proposed for the non-interface-fitted mesh solution of the micro-scale analysis that needs non-slip condition at the interface between solid and fluid phases of the unit cell. The homogenization and localization performances of the proposed method are shown in a typical two-dimensional benchmark problem whose model has a hole in center. Three-dimensional applications to the body-centered cubic (BCC) and face-centered cubic (FCC) unit cell models are also shown in the paper. The 3D application is prepared toward the computer-aided optimal design of ceramic filters. The accuracy and stability of the X-FEM based method are comparable to those of the standard interface-fitted FEM, and are superior to those of the voxel type FEM that is often used in such complex micro geometry cases.

The basic mechanism of adherence in sintered high purity alumina ceramic-to-metal bonding was studied. Emphasis was placed on flux composition, porosity of the fired ceramics, and metallizing mixtures. The study was conducted on 95 and 99.5% alumina, using molydbenum-manganese, molybdenum-manganese-silicon dioxide metallizing compositions. Metallizing was performed in wet hydrogen (dew point, ＋17$^{\circ}C$) at 145$0^{\circ}C$ for 45min. This experiment indicated that adhernece mechanism of ultra high purity alumina ceramic was attributed to formation of $MnAl_2O_$4, and in the case of 95% alumina containing glass, the migration of glass from the interface into the void of the metal coating was the main role to the adhrence. It showed also that greater the bond-strength was resulted as porosity was increased.

The effect of apparent porosity of the fired ceramics, metallizing temperature, and metallizing mixtures on the bond strength in metal-to-ceramic seals was investigated. Three different metallizing compounds were metallized on dense alumina bodies at 1300~$1500^{\circ}C$ in dry hydrogen atmosphere. Bond strength between metal and alumina body was measured by means of nstron test machine. The greater bond strength was observed as the apparent porosity and metallizing temperature was increased. This work indicated that the glassy phase in metallizing mixture, having had sufficient fluidity to migrate into the alumina body, reacted with alumina and thereby forming strong metal-ceramic interface bond. It also showed that the glassy phase having higher thermal expansion cofficient than molybdenum might contribute to the strong bond formation by providing compressive stress around the molybdenum particle.

The quantum efficiency vs. wavelength curves with different reducing treatments for the 99.99% and 98.5% $TiO_2$ ceramic electrodes have been analyzed according to the Schottky barrier model of the semiconductor-elect-rolyte interface, The model allows the main physical parameters governing the photoelectrochemical properties of the semicon-ductor to be determined. According to these data the impurity ions as three valence state ($Fe^{3+})$ in the $TiO_2$ raw materials have great influence on the photoresponse and the $TiO_2$ ceramic electrodes show much lower quantum efficiency than the $TiO_2$ single crystal due to existence of the recombination centers.
