Interpretation: The advantages and disadvantages of the use of ceramics in replacement joint bearing surfaces relative to metals have to be explained.
Concept Introduction:
Biomedical material finds application in medical field. Artificial organs, dental implants and replacement of joints are done by biomedical material. Biomedical materials are made of composites,
Ceramics are
Ceramics are hard and have high melting points. They are heat insulators.
Ceramics have partly crystalline or crystalline or amorphous structure
Example: Glass

- 5. a. Would you expect Frenkel defects for anions to exist in ionic ceramics in relatively large concentrations? Why or why not? b. If the energy for Frenkel defect formation in Zno is 2.51 eV, calculate the number of Frenkel defects per cubic meter at 1000°C. Take the density of ZnO at 1000°C as 5.55 g/cm. The atomic weight of zinc is 65.41 g/mol and that of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol.arrow_forwardExplain how homogeneous and heterogeneous alloys differ.
