Rate My Professor Fei Zhang

Zhang's research focuses on developing reliable bioceramics with enhanced clinical longevity, encompassing bioinspired dental ceramics, damage-tolerant and deformable zirconia for dental implants, multi-material additive manufacturing of dental ceramics, surface engineering of biomaterials, and tooth enamel-inspired interdisciplinary investigations. As a research professor in the BIOMAT group, her research lines include additive manufacturing, dental ceramics, and resin-based composites. Notable publications include 'The impact of mechanical recycling on material and process characteristics in alumina powder injection molding' (Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2026), 'Fracture toughness evaluation of zirconia ceramics using nonlinear dynamic finite element analysis' (Journal of Prosthodontic Research, 2026), 'Acrylate-based slurry development and evaluation for digital light processing of zirconia ceramics' (Journal of the European Ceramic Society, 2026), 'Effect of cooling rate on the microstructural and mechanical properties of speed-sintered monolithic zirconia' (Dental Materials, 2025), and 'Femtosecond laser texturing of crack-free zirconia composites: Texturing of pre-sintered ceramics and microcrack self-healing' (Journal of Materials Science & Technology, 2025). Her contributions have advanced ceramics for dental applications and innovative manufacturing techniques.
