Abstract: Fracture surface and surface of two kind of membrane of antibacterial bone china, which includes 3% and 5% of weight of composite phosphate containing rare earth respectively, were characterized by SEM and nanoindenter, respectively. Nanohardness and nanoscale friction coefficients were measured by nanoindenter. Friction coefficients were conducted at the maximal load being 300un,500un,1000un and scratching speed 15um/s, 0.75um/s, 0.5um/s, respectively. The nanohardness and friction coefficients of ceramic membrane including 3% and 5% of rare earths are 2.03GPa,0.18282 and 8.54GPa,0.051998, respectively. The two kind of ceramic membrane has stable nanotribology property. Obvious plastic flow and pile-up scratch impression of ceramic membrane including 3% rare earths is observed by AFM in situ imaging, but scratch impression of 5% has no plastic flow and take on the sink-in topography. Nanohardness and friction coefficients of this two kind of ceramic membrane have strong relationships each other but weak relations with elastic modulus.

Abstract: B-doped diamond is an excellent grinding material owing to its high hardness, oxidation resistance and chemical inertness as well as low resistance. The recent developments of Boron doped conductive diamond has further increased the scale of diamond applications including the manufacture of electrically conductive grinding wheel or the use as an electrode in EDM. The unique electrochemical properties also attract the researchers’ attention on the applications of electrode, sensor and detectors etc. This paper presents a viable technology that high boron doped diamond is synthesized under high pressure and high temperature using B-doped GICs as carbon sources. The synthetic diamond grains with electrically resistivity of 2
cm are sufficiently conductive for electrochemistry measurement. Cyclic voltammotry was performed to evaluate the electrode characteristics of diamond powder. The results shows that B-doped diamond powder electrode is electrochemically stable in the supporting electrolytes such as 0.1M KCl, 0.5M Na2SO4 and 0.1M H2SO4 over a wide potential range. The level of background current is very low. The electrode reaction is quasi-reversible in 0.5M Na2SO4 containing the ferricyanide-ferrocyanide redox couple.
