de Paula Miranda RB, et al. - The effect of titania addition (0, 10 and 30 mol%) was investigated on the microstructure, relative density, Young’s modulus (E), Poisson’s ratio (υ), mechanical properties (flexural strength, σ_f, and Weibull modulus, m) of a Y-TZP/TiO₂ composite. Moreover, the authors evaluated the effect of the presence of a biomimetic coating on the microstructure and mechanical properties. They found a great potential of using Y-TZP/TiO₂ composite coated with a layer of CaP as an implant material. The application of a biomimetic coating did not jeopardize its reliability, although the addition of titania affected the properties of the composite.
