Ceramics are defined as inorganic, non-metallic, polycrystalline carbide, nitride, or oxide materials. Some of their examples are Tungsten carbide, Silicon carbide, Zinc oxide, Titanium carbide, ...

The class of materials known as ceramic matrix composites, or CMCs, shows considerable promise for providing fracture-toughness values similar to those for metals such as cast iron. Two kinds of ...

The common engineering ceramic materials can be identified as Aluminium Oxide (Alumina), Silicon Carbide, Silicon Nitride, Sialon and Zirconia. These materials are classified as “Engineering” or ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. – Something as simple as an electric field could soon make wartime missiles or drinking mugs easier to produce and more resilient for fracture. Items such as drinking mugs, ...

This Collection supports and amplifies research related to SDG 9 - Industry & Innovation and SDG 12 - Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns. Due to their unique set of properties, ...

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 ...

This review proposes to achieve the targeted development and fabrication of high-performance high-temperature electromagnetic shielding ceramics through microstructural engineering, additive ...

Researchers have developed a new process to help overcome the brittle nature of ceramics and make it more ductile and durable. The team calls the process 'flash sintering,' which adds an electric ...
