β¦ Synopsis
Gelcasting is a very useful technique for producing ceramic green parts with complex shapes. Although it has been successfully applied to ceramic systems consisting of micron size powders, there is little report on gelcasting of ceramics containing nanoparticles. In this work, ceramic system with nano-size ZrO 2 -Y 2 O 3 -A1 2 O 3 powders (30-40 nm in size) have been successfully gelcast to form complex-shaped parts. After pressureless-sintering, the Y-TZP/Al 2 O 3 nanocomposites with an average grain size of 220 nm are successfully fabricated.

## Abstract The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the mechanical durability of a zirconia/alumina nanocomposite stabilized with cerium oxide (CeβTZP/Al~2~O~3~ nanocomposite) in comparison to yttriaβstabilized tetragonal zirconia polycrystals (YβTZP) and discuss its application on ceramic
Unlubricated friction and wear tests of CeβTZP/Al~2~O~3~ nanocomposites against bearing steel were performed. In order to elucidate the wear mecahnism, the morphological investigation and phase structural analysis of worn surfaces were carried out by Xβray diffractometer and scanning electron micros
## Abstract Recently zirconia/alumina composites have been examined by many researchers as the new generation of bearing materials in total joint replacements. In this study, the phase stability of a CeβTZP/Al~2~O~3~ nanocomposite and conventional YβTZP after aging, and its influence on wear resist
