ABSTRACT In this study, solid-state BaTiO3 was successfully synthesized after the disintegration of the starting materials (BaCO3 and TiO2) under various conditions. By analyzing the microstructure, tetragonality, crystallinity, and particle size distribution of the synthesized powder, the factors that affected the properties of the BaTiO3 solid-state synthetic powder were successfully identified. Furthermore, the changes in the dielectric constants (temperature characteristic coefficients) of the sintered specimens were investigated using each powder, according to the dielectric characteristics, high-temperature resistance, and temperature, to identify the direct and indirect relationships between the disintegration conditions, synthetic powders, and sintered specimens. Finally, optimal conditions for the uniform solid-state synthesis of BaTiO3 powder for multilayer ceramic capacitor production were derived.

ABSTRACT Beta-carotene (BC) is a nutrient in vegetables and a precursor of vitamin A. BC has been reported to have anticarcinogenic, antiaging, and antioxidation properties and prevents heart diseases. Recently, BC has gained significant attention due to stimulating effect on osteoblast differentiation. Poly(lactic acid)/hydroxyapatite (PLA/HAp) core-shell nanoparticles have been reported earlier with a load capacity of 250% for water-insoluble substances, using a surfactant-free emulsification method. In this work, PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles loaded with BC were prepared, and osteoblast differentiation behavior was evaluated. BC was successfully loaded into PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles with diameters of approximately 30 nm. BC/loaded PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles stimulated osteoblast differentiation by upregulating collagen type I, osteopontin, and osteocalcin expression. In addition, the gene expression levels of these osteoblasts were significantly larger than those stimulated by PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles without BC and cultured in a differential medium (with ascorbic acid and β-glycerophosphate). PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles showed satisfactory cytocompatibility because they were attached to the osteoblasts. Consequently, BC was effectively delivered to osteoblasts by nanoparticles. These results suggested that BC-loaded PLA/HAp core-shell nanoparticles could enhance bone formation. Graphical Abstract

ABSTRACT Mullite composite ceramics were fabricated by using mullite powder from waste coal gangue and Al(OH)3 as starting materials. The effects of sintering temperature and Al(OH)3 content on phase composition, microstructure, and mechanical properties of the ceramics were systematically investigated. Results show that the bulk density and flexural strength of composite ceramics increase as the temperature increases from 1480°C to 1560°C. The composite ceramics exhibit optimal performances with addition of 10 wt.% Al(OH)3 at 1560°C, a bulk density of 2.43 g/cm3 and a flexural strength of 124.28 MPa, respectively. Moreover, additional Al(OH)3 promotes a reaction between SiO2 and Al2O3 and forms more mullite phase. The increase in mullite content endows the composite ceramics with high mechanical properties. Scanning electron microscope images indicate that the mullite particles exhibit an interlocking structure, while the corundum phase is “pinned” within the mullite interlocking structure, contributing to the mechanical properties of composite ceramics.

ABSTRACT This paper reveals the high-voltage insulation properties – namely the dielectric constant, dissipation factor, breakdown strength, and voltage – of epoxy resin samples of various thicknesses containing the microadditives albite, potassium feldspar, lithium glass, and zinc glass in different concentrations. 0.1 wt% KAlSi3O8 ceramic powders as fillers in 1 mm epoxy composites designed for insulation is taken as the choice for highest breakdown strength 36.6491 kV/mm. After that, 5 wt% Li-Bi-B-O glass at 35.4687 kV/mm, 10 wt% Zn-Bi-B-O glass at 35.0432 kV/mm, and 10 wt% NaAlSi3O8 at 33.6504 kV/mm. The increase of thickness more than 1 mm is not recommended in the practical application due to the decrease of breakdown strength. Multi-layer thin structure is recommended for insulation purpose.

ABSTRACT Calcium phosphate cements (CPCs) are used as artificial bone materials. The bone regeneration ability of CPCs can be improved by controlling their composition, porosity, and pore size. This study aims to design novel CPCs with high bone regeneration ability by controlling their microstructure. CPCs with macropores and micropores were prepared by incorporating spherical porous calcium phosphate granules composed of rod-shaped, calcium-deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA) or plate-shaped octacalcium phosphate (OCP) particles. The granules were mixed with a binder (cement powder) composed primarily of α-tricalcium phosphate. The structure, morphology, compressive strength, porosity, specific surface area, pore size distribution, dissolution characteristics, and effects on cell viabilities were studied for the synthesized samples. The CPCs composed of porous granules had high porosity (~80%) and both macropores and micropores, which are expected to contribute to bone regeneration. The CPCs composed of porous granules showed a smaller specific surface area but a larger dissolution rate than the granule-free samples. The CPC composed of OCP granules showed a higher dissolution rate than the CPCs containing CDHA granules. In the cell culture experiments, the preosteoblasts proliferated on the CPCs, indicating that these CPCs could function as scaffolds for bone regeneration. Graphical Abstract

ABSTRACT A tremendous effort has been made to develop 2D materials-based FETs for electronic applications due to their atomically thin structures. Typically, the electrical performance of the device can vary with the surface roughness and thickness of the channel layer. Therefore, a two-step surface engineering process is demonstrated to tailor the surface roughness and thickness of MoSe2 multilayers involving exposure of O2 plasma followed by dipping in (NH4)2S(aq) solution. The O2 plasma treatment generated an amorphous MoOx layer to form a MoOx/MoSe2 heterojunction, and the (NH4)2S(aq) treatment tailored the surface roughness of the heterojunction. The ON/OFF current ratio of MoSe2 FET is about 1.1 × 105 and 5.7 × 104 for bare and chemically etched MoSe2, respectively. The surface roughness of the chemically treated MoSe2 is higher than that of the bare, 4.2 ± 0.5 nm against 3.6 ± 0.5 nm. Conversely, a 1-hour exposure of the multilayer MoOx/MoSe2 heterostructure with the (NH4)2S(aq) solution removed the amorphous oxide layer and scaled down the thickness of MoSe2 from ~92.2 nm to ~38.9 nm. The preliminary study shows that this simple two-step strategy can obtain a higher surface-area-to-volume ratio and thickness engineering with acceptable variation in electrical properties.

ABSTRACT Control of nanomaterial morphology has been investigated to utilize for the desired application. 1D nanomaterials are ideal for various applications because of their excellent carrier transportability and huge specific surface area. Due to their advantages, various methods have been developed to grow in a specific direction. Herein, we introduced a simple synthesis method of freestanding Zinc hydroxidefluoride (ZnOHF) nanobelt as 1D material without seed or substrate using aqueous solutions. The ZnOHF nanobelt was synthesized using zinc fluoride and hexamethylenetetramine (HMT) at 80°C for 3 h. Even though low synthesis temperature, ZnOHF demonstrated good crystallinity and a homogeneous nanobelt structure. The ZnOHF nanobelts were grown over several μm to <010> direction with less than 100 nm width. In addition, the growth direction of the nanobelt was controlled by the concentration of HMT. The width of the nanobelt was broader by a decrease in HMT concentration. It was considered that crystal nucleation and growth of ZnOHF could be influenced by OH− and NH4 + ions generated from HMT decomposition. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT Relative humidity (RH) in storage environment has a great impact on the electrical performance of thin film transistors (TFTs), and the RH is critical for semiconductor manufacturing and device packaging. In this work, solution-processed indium oxide (In2O3) TFT is fabricated, and the electrical performance of the device is investigated after being exposed to various RH conditions. It is found that the threshold voltage (Vth) and the mobility of In2O3 TFT exhibit clear responses to the RH ranging from 23% to 85%. The inherent mechanism about the humidity effect on the electrical performance is elaborated, and this is due to the “donor effect” from the absorbed water molecules. In addition to the effect on Vth and mobility, RH also exhibits a significant effect on the electrical stability of the TFT. The experimental result indicates that the In2O3 TFT exposed to RH <50% exhibits excellent stability with an applied positive bias stressing for 2000s.

ABSTRACT Because of the essential difference between micro-toughness and macro-toughness, the indiscriminate application of deep notch tests may result in serious errors of micro-toughness associated with shallow cracks or flaws in ceramics. Here, the micro-toughness values of ZrB2, ZrB2-SiC and ZrB2-SiC-Grapite ceramics were successfully measured through ultra-shallow sharp V-notches (depth less than 40 μm, the ratio of notch depth to sample height less than 0.01) produced by nanosecond laser on the surface of bending bars for the first time. Results indicated that the micro-toughness values obtained from these three typical ceramics were significantly lower than the macro-toughness values measured from deep notches. Furthermore, conflicts may arise when comparing the micro- with macro-toughness between different materials, such as the macro-toughness of ZrB2-SiC-G was larger than that of ZrB2-SiC, while a contrary result was obtained for micro-toughness. Compared with the indentation method, improved accuracy of micro-toughness measurement could be obtained by this method.
由于微韧性与宏观韧性的本质区别，不加选择地应用深缺口测试可能会导致陶瓷微韧性与浅裂纹或缺陷相关的严重误差。本文首次利用纳秒激光在弯曲棒表面制备了ZrB2、ZrB2- sic和ZrB2- sic -石墨陶瓷的超浅锐v形缺口(深度小于40 μm，缺口深度与样品高度之比小于0.01)，成功地测量了ZrB2、ZrB2- sic和ZrB2- sic -石墨陶瓷的微韧性值。结果表明，这三种典型陶瓷的微韧性值明显低于深缺口测量的宏观韧性值。此外，在比较不同材料的微观韧性和宏观韧性时，可能会出现冲突，如ZrB2-SiC- g的宏观韧性大于ZrB2-SiC，而微观韧性则相反。与压痕法相比，该方法可以提高微韧性测量的精度。

Compared with the indentation method, improved accuracy of micro-toughness measurement could be obtained by this method.","PeriodicalId":15130,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Asian Ceramic Societies","volume":"10 1","pages":"666 - 673"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2022-07-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45466563","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"材料科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

ABSTRACT Thin-film transistors (TFTs) with bilayer channels were used to improve the field-effect mobility and bias stress stability of the TFTs. Homogeneous structures were fabricated by the combination of a carrier deficient layer made of In2O3 thin film annealed in oxygen atmosphere (InO:O) and an electron injection layer made of In2O3 thin film annealed in air (InO:A). Compared with the InO:A/InO:A TFT with only air annealing, the field-effect mobility of InO:O/ InO:A TFT with two-step annealing process was improved from 0.04 to 5.11 cm2/Vs, the on/off current ratio was ameliorated from 4.6 × 105 to 7.6 × 107 A, while the VTH is decreased from 12.5 to 4.7 V under the positive bias stressing (PBS). It is confirmed that the excessive oxygen vacancies are produced by annealing the thin film in the air. The electrical performance of the InO:O/InO:A TFTs with two-step annealing process is greatly improved due to the formation of a low defect state and high carrier concentration electron transport layer, through the combination of the carrier transport layer and the carrier injection layer. These optimized electrical properties indicate an important step toward achieving transparent, high performance, and low-temperature metal oxides TFTs.
