Abstract

The objective of the study is to evaluate the effects of silica dipping infiltration by sol-gel method performed in the presence of catalysts in mechanical properties, microstructure and surface characteristics of a Y-TZP Zirconia as well as the interfacial energy (toughness Fracture) in bond to resin cement. Disks are made of Y-TZP and Zirconia divided into 5 groups, infiltrated by silicic acid obtained by TEOS - with and without catalyst, infiltrated by silicic acid obtained sodium metasilicate (Na2SiO3) - with and without catalyst and uninfiltrated (control). The discs will be characterized with XRD, DRXR, Raman, hardness, SEM and EDS, and then will be submitted to biaxial bending test. They will be analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics as well as the Weibull analysis to determine the structural homogeneity. After mechanical characterization, Brazil nut specimens will be made to realize toughness fracture of bond. The infiltrated samples will be conditioned with hydrofluoric acid and analyzed by SEM and optical perfilometer until the pattern of conditioning is set. The samples will be tested with a compression test with samples placed at different angles (0-25), so we can get the pure tensile fracture, pure shear or in both modes. This way is calculated the interfacial energy to the adhesive interface fracture. The discs and the Brazil nut specimens will be observed in stereomicroscope and SEM to determine fracture characteristics (path taken by the trips). (AU)
