Abstract
Comparison of the fabrication of particulate and platelet-reinforced h igh coefficient of thermal expansion lithium disilicate glass-ceramics is reported. Densification phenomena v. temperature for the two compo site systems is given. Mechanical properties resulting from the incorp oration of the two types of inclusion are provided and compared to val ues obtained for the unfilled matrix. Flexural strength increases of u p to 85% are reported. Finally, the commercial potential of these comp osite materials is discussed. (C) 1993 The Institute of Materials.
