  The adhesive forces and the specific surface energy of ceramic material surfaces are very important for further tribological and biomedical applications of ceramics. Partially stabilized zirconia (zirconium oxide) is popular for manufacturing various medical products. ZrO2 stabilized by Y2O3 with additions of 5 wt% alumina was produced by slip casting method with a subsequent sintering. Structure and chemical composition of ceramic...

  - series: Scanning Probe Microscopies data

  The deformation-distance spectroscopic curve is obtained by registering the value of the probe cantilever deflection as a function of the elongation of the piezoelectric scanner. It assumes a simple relationship in the form of Hooke’s law, linking the deformation of the lever with the amount of its deflection caused by the proximity of the probe and...

  Compaction is an important process for the asphalt mixture service life. A properly compacted mixture is crucial for long-lasting pavement. The objective of this study was to evaluate the influence of asphalt binders on the compactability of the asphalt mixtures by utilizing the concept of the locking point. To achieve this objective, two compaction methods (impact and gyration), different temperatures and asphalt content, and...
