The process for applying an adhesion coating to a substrate, preferably a fixed partial denture (FPD) or a bone implant, using precipitation of aluminum hydroxides which originate from the hydrolysis of aluminum nitride – AlN – powder in a water suspension, or a water-containing suspension, followed by a subsequent thermal treatment was developed. The purpose of the coating is to improve adhesion of commercially available dental and/or bone cements to the substrate, which is preferably used as a fixed partial denture or a bone implant.
F.19 Knowledge that leads to a company spin off
COBISS.SI-ID: 21150759The AlN powder hydrolysis can be exploited for the preparation of nanostructured aluminate coatings on the ceramic substrate. Due to substantially increased surface area the adhesive prioperties of the substartes suc as for example ceramic dental restorations are significantly improved.

COBISS.SI-ID: 23049767Criteria for the materils' selection were presented and the processing variables were were dtermined that allow for manufacturing of biscuit-sintered Y-TZP blanks for the production of fixed partial dentures using soft milling.
F.08 Development and manufacture of a prototype
COBISS.SI-ID: 22534439In the frame of research on the influence of fillers on mechanical properties of fibre-cement compositeswe obtained wen knowledge in the field of use of meta-kaoline and fly-ash for the production of fiber-cement composites. We also showed, that by using rheological measurements, it is possible to determine the quality of cement used for the preparation of the composites.
