  By Nikesh A. Shah, Kacha Pinank, K. N. Rathod, Chirag Savaliya, Davit Dhruv, D. D. Pandya, J. H. Markna, N. A. Shah

  Abstract: Nanocrystalline silicon carbide (SiC) is an aspirant material for artificial heart valves primarily due to its low weight, high strength, acute hardness, wear resistance, inertness (SiC does not react with biological fluids), and deterioration resistance. Oxide ceramic materials such as alumina (Al2O3) and zirconia (ZrO2) are often used for medical applications like implants and prostheses because of their terrific biocompatibility and high wear resistance. Unfortunately, oxide ceramics cannot be used …

  Effect of Sintering Temperature on Current-Voltage Characteristics of Nanostructured Manganites

  By Zalak Joshi, Davit Dhruv, N. A. Shah

  Abstract: Normal 0 false false false EN-IN X-NONE GU MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 In the present communication, nanostructured Y0.95Ca0.05MnO3 manganites using low cost sol-gel method have been synthesized. Samples were sintered at different temperatures in order to change the particle size of the samples. The crystallite size is found to increase with sintering temperature due to crystal agglomeration effect. To understand the transport properties of the presently studied samples, current-voltage (I-V) characteristics have been …
