Hydroxyapatite (HAp) is a bioceramic widely studied due to its chemical similarity with the
mineral component of bones. Besides, it is biocompatible, bioactive and thermodynamically …

The most commonly used ballistic ceramics (alumina, silicon carbide, and boron carbide)
are compared via various performance mechanisms in this review. This work aimed to study …

The military ballistic protection market has reached approximately US $10 billion/year, and
the civil market is also very significant and is steadily increasing, which drives research for …

Abstract Alumina (Al 2 O 3) and silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4) ceramic compositions were studied
as prospective materials for ballistic ceramics. Alumina ceramics with contents of 0, 5, 10 …

This paper presents the concept of ceramic shielding, presenting the materials commonly
used in protection systems. The need for more efficient shielding arose from the evolution of …

The use of alumina as a reinforcement in metallic and ceramic matrix is well-known. The
purpose of this study was to investigate the effect of alumina addition according to its amount …

Cerâmicos são materiais inorgânicos, com ligações predominantemente iônicas ou
covalentes entre elementos metálicos e não metálicos (RIEDEL, 2008; CALLISTER, 2012; …

Alumina é comumente utilizada em blindagens compostas. Apresenta baixa tenacidade à
fratura e esta propriedade está relacionada à resistência a múltiplos disparos. Com o intuito …

This work aimed to produce and evaluate the ballistic behavior of niobo-phosphate glass-
doped alumina composites. The niobo-phosphate glass (30% Nb2O5-30% P2O5-20% CaO …
