The Influence of Co Additive on the Sintering, Mechanical Properties, Cytocompatibility, and Digital Light Processing Based Stereolithography of 3Y-TZP-5AlO Ceramics.

Nanocrystalline 3 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (3Y-TZP) ceramic powder containing 5 wt.% AlO with 64 m/g specific area was synthesized through precipitation method. Different amounts of Co (0-3 mol%) were introduced into synthesized powders, and ceramic materials were obtained by heat treatment in the air for 2 h at 1350-1550 °C.
