Summary
Surface treatments are crucial for bonding oxide ceramics. Abrasive or silica-coating treatments combined with primers offer sufficient bond strength, but clinical studies are needed for confirmation.
Area of Science:
- Materials Science
- Biomaterials Engineering
- Dental Materials
Background:
- Achieving durable bonds with oxide ceramics is essential for clinical success.
- Various surface treatments exist, but their efficacy in enhancing bond strength varies significantly.
- Standardization is lacking, complicating the comparison of different surface preparation methods.
Purpose of the Study:
- To inventory methods for creating bondable surfaces on oxide ceramics.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of different surface treatments in achieving sufficient bond strength.
- To identify optimal surface preparation strategies for bonding oxide ceramics.
Main Methods:
- Systematic literature review of in vitro studies.
- Searches conducted on PubMed and supplemented with reference tracking.
- Analysis of 127 publications for surface treatment inventory and 23 for bond strength evaluation.
Main Results:
- Surface treatments are necessary for oxide ceramics; as-produced surfaces lack durable bond strength.
- Seven main treatment categories identified: as-produced, grinding/polishing, airborne particle abrasion, surface coating, laser, acid, and primer treatments.
- Abrasive surface treatments, silica-coating, and primer treatments show potential for sufficient bond strength.
Conclusions:
- No single universal surface treatment exists for oxide ceramics.
- Effective bonding relies on specific material properties and the chosen adhesive cement system.
- Further clinical studies are required to validate the findings from in vitro research on surface treatments.

Bonding and Strength of Aggregate
1.2K
The bond between aggregate particles and the cement matrix is significantly influenced by the shape and surface texture of the aggregates. High-strength concretes benefit from a rougher texture, which leads to stronger bonding due to greater adhesion. Angular aggregates with larger surface areas also enhance this bond. The bonding quality, however, is complex to assess as no universally accepted test exists. Good bonding is indicated when a crushed concrete specimen shows some aggregate...

Mortar
897
Mortar, a mixture of Portland cement, hydrated lime, sand, and water, is a crucial binding material in construction. Its primary function is to join masonry units together, filling gaps and ensuring a uniform distribution of weight across the structure. This helps in preventing potential weaknesses. Mortar also serves as a protective barrier against environmental elements such as water and wind, thereby safeguarding the interior of the structure. It also compensates for surface irregularities...

Mortar Properties
691
Mortar properties encompass a range of characteristics crucial for construction and masonry work, including workability, water retention, bond strength, durability, compressive strength, volume change, and appearance. Workability refers to mortar's ability to be easily applied and manipulated without sagging or falling off surfaces, which is important for efficient masonry unit placement and alignment. Water retention is essential to prevent the mortar from losing moisture too quickly to...

Hydration of Cement
2.0K
Hydration of cement is a chemical reaction between cement particles and water. This process occurs primarily through two mechanisms: through-solution and topochemical. In the through-solution process, anhydrous compounds dissolve into their constituents, hydrates form in the solution, and then precipitate from the supersaturated solution. The topochemical process involves solid-state reactions at the cement particle surface. The through-solution process dominates the topochemical process at the...

Types of Cement II
634
Portland blast-furnace cement is made by blending Portland cement clinker with granulated blast-furnace slag, which accounts for 25 to 65 percent of the cement's weight. Despite its similarities to ordinary Portland (Type I) cement in terms of fineness and setting times, its early strength is lower, though it achieves comparable strength later on. It's particularly suited for mass concrete structures and marine environments due to its lower heat of hydration and superior sulfate...

Strength and Heat of Hydration
962
The hydration of cement is an exothermic reaction in which heat is generated as cement hydrates. This heat of hydration is critical to cement's strength development. The rate at which this heat is generated affects the temperature rise, with a majority of the heat being released early in the hydration process, half within the first three days, and about 75% within the first week.
The heat of hydration for each cement compound is significant; for instance, tricalcium aluminate (C3A) and...
