Nanoceramics, known for their superior mechanical and antibacterial properties, are extensively used in medical, electronic, aerospace, and environmental applications, offering innovative solutions in fields like bone healing, dielectric capacitors, jet engines, and water filtration.
By Ibtisam AbbasiReviewed by Lexie CornerAug 16 2024 Nanoceramics have gained significant attention in the scientific community due to their diverse properties and enhanced efficiency compared to traditional materials.1 Their exceptional physical, chemical, and mechanical characteristics, largely attributed to their small particle size, have driven their widespread application across various fields.
Medical Applications of Nanoceramics The use of nanotechnology in regenerative medicine has been extensively explored, particularly in nanofiber scaffolding and the modification of nanotopography in nanoparticles and scaffolds. Nanoceramics are among the most widely utilized advanced materials used in biomedical applications.
Related StoriesA specialized form of nanoceramics, zirconia–yttria ceramics, also known as Tetragonal Zirconia Polycrystals or Yttria-stabilized zirconia , is crucial in bone tissue engineering. These materials are widely used as artificial bone fillers in dental crowns, prostheses, joint heads for knees and hips, tibial plates, and temporary supports.8
Aerospace Applications of Nanoceramics Nanoceramic matrix composites are characterized by low thermal conductivity, high hardness, and resistance to extreme temperatures and corrosion. These properties make them suitable for use in transportation, including wearing parts, fuel cells, and lightweight components.
Nanoceramics for Environmental Preservation Water pollution is a significant global challenge, and the scarcity of safe drinking water is a growing concern, especially in developing regions where traditional filtration methods are becoming less effective. Researchers have found that nanoceramics offer an efficient solution for water filtration due to their strong antibacterial properties.
However, research into the biocompatibility of transparent nanoceramics is still in its early stages, and significant progress is needed before they can be widely adopted in clinical practice. Future research will focus on enhancing the compatibility and degradability of nanoceramic particles with blood tissue.References and Further Reading Shashikumar, U., et. al. .
