Abstract:
The present investigation explores the influence of yttrium (Y3+) inclusions in ZrO2-SiO2 binary system (YSZ) on its structural and mechanical features. The powders were synthesized through sol-gel technique and an exclusive characterization were undertaken to investigate the structural and mechanical features influenced by Y3+ additions. Characterization techniques affirmed the crucial role of Y3+ on the resultant structural and thermal stability of the YZS system. Instrumented indentation inferred the enhanced mechanical properties demonstrated by YZS system in comparison with pure ZrO2-SiO2 binary system (ZS).

Structure and Physical Properties of Alkynes
In nature, compounds containing both carbon and hydrogen are known as "hydrocarbons". Aliphatic hydrocarbons are compounds whose molecules contain saturated single bonds (i.e., alkanes) or unsaturated double or triple bonds. Alkenes contain carbon–carbon double bonds and have a structural formula CnH2n. Unsaturated hydrocarbons containing carbon–carbon triple bonds are called "alkynes" and are structurally represented by the formula CnH2n-2.
