Nanophase ceramics bending properties

Undoubtedly, changes in porosity (such as bulk and surface porosity and diameter of individual pores) of nanophase ceramic formulated by Webster et al. (1999) provide an explanation for the observed differences in mechanical properties of respective nanophase and conventional ceramic formulations for example, individual surface pores four times smaller were achieved in nanophase (67-nm grain size) compared to conventional (179-nm grain size) HA formulations (Webster et al., 2000a). Compared to conventional formulations, therefore, the bending modulus of nanophase ceramics...
