    Yttria nettings by replica processing
    2014 - SANTOS, S.C.; YAMAGATA, C.; ACCHAR, W.; MELLO-CASTANHO, S.R.H.
    In the context of green economy supported and widespread by United Nations (UN), the renewable energy sources are the unique mechanism to universalize the access to energy. Face to this strategic direction of change is essential to develop efficient components for saving energy such as porous ceramics that associate light with mechanical strength. Thus, the objective of this work concerns to improve the homogeneity of porous size distribution of yttria porous ceramics by evaluating their morphology during replica processing. Samples were subject to immersion into 30vol% yttria aqueous suspensions during an interval from 1min to 120min and sintered through careful thermal conditions. Based on the results, the weight and morphology of porous structure samples were directly influenced by immersion time, whereby intervals from 30-120min showed the best final products.

    Synthesis and processing of yttrium dysprosium-doped silicate
    2016 - MELLO-CASTANHO, SONIA; SANTOS, SILAS C.; CAMPOS, L.L.; YAMAGATA, C.
    Sol gel route was used to synthetize Dy-doped Ytrium disilicate (Dy- Y2Si2O7) powders. The well-defined composition was a concern of the precision of the synthesis process, which stoichiometrically controlled to attain single crystalline phase and obtain fine particles in order to use as raw material for prototyping of bioinspired matrix from Luffa Cylindrica (LCy). The surface of the LCy was carefully prepared by chemical attack and the rheological studies of the aqueous suspensions performed with the synthetized Dy-doped Ytrium disilicate was previously studied. The optimized conditions were used to obtain porous and homogeneous replicas. The pieces biomorphic structure shaped were sintered at 1500 °C / 7h. The prototype was tested as a device for illumination from the burning of biomass in flame and showed good yield. The disilicate emission thermoluminescence doped with dysprosium demonstrated enhance the lumen capacity of this device.

    Processing, microstructure and thermoluminescence response of biomorphic yttrium oxide ceramics
    2016 - SANTOS, S.C.; YAMAGATA, C.; CAMPOS, L.L.; MELLO-CASTANHO, S.R.H.
    The present work reports a fast-direct bio-prototyping process using Luffa Cylindrica vegetable sponge to produce biomorphic yttrium oxide ceramics with reticulated-porous architecture and thermoluminescence response. Processing parameters as rheology of yttrium oxide suspensions, bio-template surface treatment and thermal decomposition of bio-template were investigated. Shear thinning suspensions of 30 vol% yttrium oxide with apparent viscosity of 243mPa.s provided a successful impregnation of samples, whereby bio-templates with smooth ceramic layer and hierarchical reticulated architecture were formed. By thermal treatment at 1600 degrees C for 2 h biomorphic yttrium oxide ceramics with porous microstructure and TL response at 150 degrees C and lambda=550 nm were produced. The proposed fast direct bio-prototyping process is suitable for the production of ceramic components with complex shape and demonstrates potential for general applicability to any bio-template.

    Bio-prototyping and thermoluminescence response of cellular rare earth ceramics
    2016 - SANTOS, S.C.; YAMAGATA, C.; CAMPOS, L.L.; MELLO CASTANHO, S.R.H.
    The use of renewable materials is essential toward green economy. Vegetable structures are abundant, exhibit complex hierarchically built shape and an architecture that is promising to form functional materials. In this work using a mixture of rare earth oxides, which contain around 57 wt% yttrium oxide, cellular ceramics by bio-prototyping from the vegetable sponge Luffa cylindrica were produced and the thermoluminescence response was evaluated. By colloidal processing aqueous suspensions with 25 vol% solids content, pH 10, 1 wt% deffloculant and 0.2 wt% binder exhibited shear thinning behavior and apparent viscosity suitable for replica method. By thermal treatment at 1600 ◦C for 2 h in air biomorphic rare earth ceramics with dense microstructure and reticulated architecture were produced.
