The production of modern ceramic components generally involves two separate processing stages. First, powdered ceramic is dispersed in a liquid and then compacted to form the desired component shape ...

Generally, the production of modern ceramic components falls into one of two distinct processing stages. The ceramic powder is first evenly dispersed in a liquid to specific proportions, and next, it ...

Slips are suspensions of one or more ceramic in a liquid, usually water, with a particle size of around 1µm and may be considered as a colloidal system. It is vital that there is control over the ...

The worldwide demand for ceramic materials with wide-ranging applications is rising in the biomedical, aerospace industry, electronics, precision tools, and environmental fields. Advanced ceramics ...

In this study, the layered anisotropic structure of β-Li₂TiO₃ enables preferential dislocation slip under high pressure, amplified by nanoscale stress concentration, driving plastic deformation to ...

(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.

A new techno-economic analysis shows that the energy intensive ceramic industry would gain both financial and environmental benefits if it moved to free the cold sintering process from languishing in ...

Highlighting recent advancements in ceramic AM that are coming out of academic labs and are influencing the future of the ...

A team of scientists has figured out how to make ceramics that bend and mush instead of shattering (though under enough pressure they will still crack). That's a potentially lifesaving discovery: Heat ...

A team of researchers at Osaka University demonstrated that cracks induced in composites consisting of alumina (Al 2 O 3) ceramics and titanium (Ti) as dispersed phase could be healed at room ...
