(Nanowerk Spotlight) Ceramics are an important class of materials with widespread applications in electronics and energy storage due to their high thermal, mechanical, and chemical stability.
Study using VPP to form SiC with sintering aids, achieving sub‑2000°C densification and improved microstructure.
For the first time, researchers have created a nanocomposite of ceramics and a two-dimensional material, opening the door for new designs of nanocomposites with such applications as solid-state ...
A novel ultra-fast high-temperature pre-sintering (UHS) followed by conventional pressureless sintering (CS) strategy was employed for the first time to prepare transparent AlON ceramics. The prepared ...
With the aim to improve the thermal conductivity of yttria dispersed AlN ceramics through a short time and low temperature treatment under nitrogen atmosphere, millimeter wave (MMW) heating was ...
The powder injection moulding (PIM) process is an efficient method for the high volume production of shaped components from powders. PIM is a derivative of polymer injection moulding and uses much of ...
The scientists placed a 'pellet' of ceramic material between two strips of carbon, which can 'sinter' the material - making it resilient - in seconds (University of Maryland) A “breakthrough” method ...
