However, conventional methods suffer from low uniformity, complicated fabrication steps, sintering, leaching, decline of catalytic activity, and/or poor reusability.
Effect of various parameters such as Al2O3 weight percentage, uniaxially cold pressure, sintering temperature and sintering time on the fabrication (densification and consolidation) and mechanical properties (hardness, compression strength and specific wear rate) of these nanocomposites was investigated.
Effects of fabrication conditions (i.e., sintering temperature, holding time and casting temperature) on microstructure of the fabricated copper/diamond FGMs were investigated.
A porous TiO2 film was coated onto the FTO glass using the doctor-blade method; the fabrication was then sintered at 450°C for 1 h, which resulted in a film thickness of approximately 30 μm.
Due to their fabrication history (powder mixing, pressing, sintering, rolling or swaging) all materials had specific microstructures which often led to typical delamination fractures.
The effect of fabrication variables starting material, compacting pressure, sintering temperature on sintered iron electrodes is presented, together with an investigation of the factors governing the depth of discharge of these electrodes.
The fabrication method of such dental restoratives is usually as follows: (1) hot pressing of zirconia powder (2) machining of pre-sintered zirconia (3) sintering.
The effects of fabrication parameters, including groove depth and pitch, sintering temperature and time, on the capillary performance of composite wicks were focused on and examined for the purpose of design optimization.
Various methods, including inkjet printing, screen printing, and intense pulsed light irradiation, have been reported for the fabrication of conductive films and/or electrodes by sintering the copper nanoparticles or reducing copper oxide nanoparticles (Table 1) [22, 23, 23].
In the case of the ceramic sub-mounts of a light-emitting diode (LED), produced from a porous ceramic powder tape, the fabrication involves punch-forming, warm isostatic pressing, and sintering.
