Abstract [eng] CHAp was successfully synthesized using four different synthesis versions of sol-gel processing method. The phase purity, as we demonstrated, was achieved after using newly proposed DCTA complexing agent. The nano-CHAp was obtained after mechanical treatment of the sol-gel derived CHAp samples using zirconia ball milling procedure. The interconnected bone blocks were obtained from nano-CHAp. The remineralization test on human teeth was performed. In this work Ca ions in CHAp were successfully substituted with Ce and Mn ions. The monophasic leucite (KAlSi2O6) ceramic was obtained using simple aqueous sol-gel synthesis route after annealing the K–Al–Si–O precursor gels at 1000 °C for 24 h. Utilizing this synthesis method, lanthanide-doped leucite samples were synthesized. Thus, Eu3+ and Tb3+ containing alumosilicate samples showed luminescence under UV radiation, however, the similarly obtained Ce3+- and Tb3+-doped samples did not exhibit any photoluminescence properties. In this study, an amorphous ternary system of alumina-silicate ceramic powders containing an alkaline earth metal was prepared by the RF thermal plasma processing route. Moreover, the synthesized alumo-silicate nanoceramics possess a core/shell structure. These nanoscaled core-shell particles could be attractive due to the possibly enhanced mechanical properties for different structural applications.
