Aqueous solutions of nano lithium silicates with 5.5/1.0 and 7.5/1.0 silica/alkali molar ratios were used to impregnate Pinus radiata. To obtain these impregnants, a solution of 3.5/1.0 SiO2/Li2O molar ratio was used; this ...

The aim of this manuscript is to describe 2-year follow-up of a clinical experience with a zirconia-reinforced lithium silicate ceramic for an anterior rehabilitation with single metal-free crowns. The maxillary-central ...

Lithium silicates were synthesized using rice husk ash as a precursor of silica to be used in CO2 capture. Two different treatment steps, with water (SiO2-W) or HCl 3 M (SiO2-A), were carried out prior to the rice husk ...

Fracture resistance and translucency are among the most important properties for the use of lithium silicate glass ceramics as dental prostheses, both being greatly influenced by the temperature of the crystallization heat ...

The aim of this study was to develop environmentally friendly, nano-structured inorganic coatings suitable for the protection of metal substrates. The formulation variables included (i) two binders based on lithium silicate ...
