Investigating the Thermo-Optic Properties of BCZT-Based Temperature Sensors.

Photoluminescent (PL) layers and electroluminescent (EL) systems have gained significant attention for their applications in constructing flat panels, screen monitors, and lighting systems. In this study, we present a groundbreaking approach to fabricating temperature sensors using barium-calcium zirconium titanate (BCZT) with thermo-optic properties, leading to the development of opto-thermal sensors for electric vehicle battery packs. We prepared zinc sulfide (ZnS) fluorescent films on BCZT ceramics, specifically two optimal compositions, BCZT0.

Chemical and Mechanical Characterization of the Alternative Kriab-Mirror Tesserae for Restoration of 18th to 19th-Century Mosaics (Thailand).

Kriab-mirror tesserae are a type of lead-coated mosaic mirror found in most archaeological sites and antiquities dating back to the 18th century in central Thailand. The need for restoration work has prompted the search for alternative mirrors with similar characteristics to the ancient ones. Prototypes of alternative lead-coated mirrors were successfully used to restore a variety of archaeological sites and artifacts, demonstrating their potential application in heritage conservation and restoration work.

Preparation and characterization of lithium disilicate-fluorcanasite glass-ceramics for dental applications.

The purpose of this research is to discuss the preparation, characterization, and characteristics of lithium disilicate-fluorcanasite (LF) glass-ceramics in order to develop new dental glass-ceramics. A typical melt quenching method was used to produce the lithium disilicate (LD) and fluorcanasite (FC) types of glass. Following that, the LD and FC glass frits were combined and remelted in the following LD:FC ratios of 100:0, 0:100, 75:25, and 50:50 wt%, represented by S1, S2, S3, and S4, respectively.

Identification of Microorganisms Dwelling on the 19th Century Lanna Mural Paintings from Northern Thailand Using Culture-Dependent and -Independent Approaches.

Lanna painting is a unique type of painting in many temples in the Northern Thai region. Similar to most mural paintings, they usually decay over time partly due to the activity of microbes. This study aimed to investigate the microorganisms from two Lanna masterpiece paintings in two temples that differ in the numbers of visitors using both culture-dependent and -independent approaches.

Phase Formation Study of BaFeO in Bioactive Glass by Modified Processing Technique.

In this work, bioglass ceramics have been successfully fabricated by the modified incorporation method. In this method, solid-state reaction and conventional glass-melting techniques were employed to separately prepare barium hexaferrite (BaFeO: BF) and 45S5 bioactive glass powders. The mixture of BF and 45S5 glass powder was then re-melted at 1300 °C to form base glass.

Non-Isothermal Crystallization Kinetics of Transparent Glass-Ceramic Phosphors Containing Calcium Magnesium Aluminosilicate Nanocrystals.

Glass-ceramic phosphors from CaO-MgO-SiO2-Al2O3-ZnO co-doped with 0.5Eu3+:0.1Sm3+ (mole%) were prepared by conventional melt-quenching method.

Effect of sintering temperature variations on fabrication of 45S5 bioactive glass-ceramics using rice husk as a source for silica.

45S5 bioactive glass is a highly bioactive substance that has the ability to promote stem cell differentiation into osteoblasts--the cells that create bone matrix. The aim of this work is to analyze physical and mechanical properties of 45S5 bioactive glass fabricated by using rice husk ash as its silica source. The 45S5 bioactive glass was prepared by melting the batch at 1300 °C for 3h.

Fabrication of transparent lead-free KNN glass ceramics by incorporation method.

The incorporation method was employed to produce potassium sodium niobate [KNN] (K0.5Na0.5NbO3) glass ceramics from the KNN-SiO2 system.

Effects of NiO nanoparticles on the magnetic properties and diffuse phase transition of BZT/NiO composites.

A new composite system, Ba(Zr0.07Ti0.93)O3 (BZT93) ceramic/NiO nanoparticles, was fabricated to investigate the effect of NiO nanoparticles on the properties of these composites.
