Fabrication and mechanical properties of biomimetic nacre-like ceramic/polymer composites for chairside CAD/CAM dental restorations (2021)
Journal Article

Objective: To fabricate and characterise a novel chairside CAD/CAM composite dental materials. These composites have a nacre-like anisotropic microstructure, consisting of highly aligned ceramic scaffolds infiltrated with polymer. Method: Bi-directio...

Cost-effective fabrication of bio-inspired nacre-like composite materials with high strength and toughness (2020)
Journal Article

A cost-effective one-step densification process based on bi-directional freeze casting was investigated to produce nacre-like alumina/poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) composites with a unique micro-layered (μL) architecture. This method has the adva... Read More about Cost-effective fabrication of bio-inspired nacre-like composite materials with high strength and toughness.

Bi-directional freeze casting of porous alumina ceramics: A study of the effects of different processing parameters on microstructure (2018)
Journal Article

Highly aligned lamellar ceramic scaffolds were produced using a bi-directional freeze casting technique. A specially designed, sloped copper mould was covered with a polymer to modulate the temperature field. Effects of different processing parameter...
