Abstract
Abstract On investigating the possibility of using alumina whisker reinforced 3 mol% Yttria stabilized Tetragonal Zirconia (TZ-3Y) composite for bioceramic applications, presented here is the influence of varying whisker concentration (2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 wt%) on flexural strength of the composite. Whiskers of hydrothermally synthesized Ammonium Aluminum Carbonate Hydroxide (AACH) were used for composite synthesis. These whiskers transformed in situ into alumina during sintering. It was found that with addition of alumina whiskers, strength was increased and reached a maximum value of 1212±60 MPa and 1325±65 MPa, in pure and 1 wt% CTAB added samples respectively, at a concentration of 10 wt% Al 2 O 3 whiskers. The strength values of the synthesized composite can compete well with commercially available materials for dental applications.
