The effect of various amounts of copper oxide (CuO) up to 1 wt% on the densification behaviour and mechanical properties of 3 mol% yttria-tetragonal zirconia polycrystal (Y-TZP) were studied by using microwave (MW) sintering method. The MW sintering was performed at temperatures between 1100 °C and...
