Sintering and crystallization of akermanite-based glass-ceramics

resumo

Akermanite-based glass-ceramics were successfully produced from the SiP2-Al2O3-B2O3-MgO-CaO-Na2O-F system via sintering and crystallization of glass-powder compacts at low temperatures between 750 and 800 degrees C. The experimental results indicated that the amount of Al2O3 in the parent glass composition is seemingly a key factor with regard to the potential of this system to crystallize into a mono-mineral akermanite glass-ceramic. The aesthetics and the mechanical, the chemical and the thermal properties of the produced glass-ceramics in conjunction with the evaluation of the economic processing route proposed qualify these glass-ceramics for further investigation as potential materials suitable for applications in restorative dentistry.
