Диссертации "Моделирование процессов перелома кинетики окисления и переориентации гидридов в циркониевых оболочках твэлов". Диссертация на соискание кандидата технических наук по специальности 05.14.03 "Ядерные энергетические установки,... more
The following article is a review of the dental literature available, which is aiming to provide the clinician the up-to-date information about the ceramic metal-free dental materials available in Latin-America. Some clinical aspects are... more
An efficient gain-flattened C-band optical amplifier is demonstrated using a hybrid configuration with a Zirconia-based Erbium-doped fibre (Zr-EDF) and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The amplifier utilizes a two-stage structure... more
Abstract- As expensive and common material the zircon (ZrSiO4) contributes opacity to sanitaryware white opaque glazes and promotes whiteness of glaze surface by its high optical refractive index. The high optical refractive index of... more

As a cladding material used to encapsulate nuclear fuel pellets, zirconium alloys are the primary barrier separating the fuel and a pressurised steam or lithiated water environment. Degradation mechanisms such as oxidation can be the... more
Zirconia (ZrO2) is a well known oxide refractory material, possessing high strength and high melting point. Black zirconia is a variant of conventional zirconia obtained by the addition of a pigments percentage which changes its color... more
Recently, considerable attention has been focused on zirconium oxide (ZrO2) which exhibits many desirable structural and electronic properties and has been used in many applications. For example it is a very attractive and promising... more
Zirconium based alloys are commonly used as material for fuel claddings in the light water reactors. Claddings act as first metallic barriers against loss of fission products during the nuclear power plant operation, intermittent storage... more
Nano Co3O4-ZnO-ZrO2 mixed metal oxides were synthesized by wet chemical method by mixing of equimolar solutions of cobalt chloride, zinc sulfate and zirconium oxychloride in aqueous sodium hydroxide and refluxed at elevated temperature.... more
Aligned fibres of partially stabilised zirconia (PSZ, 4 mol% Y2O3) and fully stabilised zirconia (FSZ, 8 mol% Y2O3), 3-5 μm in diameter, were blow spun from a sol-gel precursor, and then fired to give the ceramic fibre. Various potential... more
In-situ polymerization of pyrrole was carried out with zirconium oxide, in the presence of oxidizing agent ammonium persulphate, to synthesize polypyrrole/zirconium oxide composites, by chemical oxidation method. The polypyrrole/zirconium... more
Zirconium alloys are used as fuel cladding in light water reactors. Surface preparation techniques that might impair oxidation resistance would limit the lifetime of the cladding and therefore prevent higher burn-up of fuels. The work... more
Corrosion is a key limiting factor in the degradation of zirconium alloys in light water reactors. Developing a mechanistic understanding of the corrosion process offers a route towards improving safety and efficiency as demand increases... more
55th Corrosion Science Symposium - 29-30 September 2014 - Manchester (MOSI)
In this study, neodymia doped poly(vinyl) alcohol/zirconium–cerium acetate (PVA/Zr-Ce) nanofibers were prepared using the electrospinning technique, and then calcined at 800°C for 2 hours. For this purpose, PVA/Zr-Ce polymer solutions... more
Heterogeneous catalysts are promising for the transesterification reaction of vegetable oils to produce biodiesel. Unlike homogeneous, heterogeneous catalysts are environmentally benign and could be operated in continuous processes.... more

The aim of this paper is to deposit zirconium oxide films by magnetron sputtering process at different argon partial pressure values of 45%, 55%, 62% and 67%. The effect of argon partial pressure on structural, optical and wettability... more
The present work has been produced as part of an on-going collaboration between the University of Manchester and Amec, with the primary aim of furthering mechanistic understanding of corrosion processes in zirconium alloys out-of-reactor.... more
Abstract Er 2 O 3 doped calcia stabilized zirconia based inert matrix fuel containing CeO 2 as a surrogate for PuO 2 was fabricated for a wide range of concentration using the polymer-to-ceramic conversion technique via metal acetate... more
