RESUMO
BaTiO3, BiFeO3 and BiFeO3/BaTiO3 polycrystalline films were prepared by the radio frequency magnetron sputtering on the Pt/Ti/SiO2/Si substrate. The phase structure, converse piezoelectric coefficient and domain structure of BaTiO3, BiFeO3 and BiFeO3/BaTiO3 thin films are characterized by XRD and PFM, respectively. The converse piezoelectric coefficient d33 of BiFeO3/BaTiO3 thin films is 119.5 pm V(-1), which is comparable to that of lead-based piezoelectric films. The large piezoelectric response of BiFeO3/BaTiO3 thin films is ascribed to the low-symmetry T-like phase BiFeO3, because the spontaneous polarization vector of T-like phase (with monoclinic symmetry) BiFeO3 can rotate easily under external field. In addition, the reduced leakage current and major domains with upward polarization are also attributed to the large piezoelectricity.
RESUMO
HA layer is sintered onto the surface of zirconia ceramic material.These column-like composite implants and titanium implants were inserted into the femurs of the dogs.The speciments were taken at the third month after operation,and the shear strengths between the implants and bone were measured.The undecalcified bone section containing the composite ceramic implant were cut for light microscopy,scanning electron microscopy and elemental analyses of C,P and Zr.Mechanical testing results revealed that the attachment strength of HA-coated zirconia samples is more stronger,as companied with the titanium samples.Histologic evaluations of the undecalcified specimens showed that extremely close juxlaposition of bone to HA-coated zirconia ceramic implants was seen.
