A ceramic matrix composite (CMC) with the chemical composition of 90 wt% Ce0.1Zr0.9O2 and 10wt% MgAl204 was produced by filter-pressing, drying and heat treatment of 1400 deg C. The internal microstructure was studied using the transmission electron microscopy (TEM) technique combined with energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Because of the intended use in dentistry, the surfaces of the as-fired and of the mechanically treated samples were characterised by atomic force microscopy and X-ray diffraction.
