Silicon nitride ceramics are widely used in structural applications because they have low density yet are very tough. Their damage tolerance is based upon an interlocking microstructure of elongated ...

Innovations in alumina ceramic production techniques can increase the utilization of alumina ceramics in industrial applications. For instance, simple alumina components, such as alumina discs, can be ...

ZnO varistor ceramics were synthesised by cold sintering/spark plasma sintering and post-annealing treatment. Intriguingly, the ZnO varistor ceramics present ultrahigh potential gradient, high ...

B 4 C–TiB 2 has established itself as a prominent structural and functional integrated material, owing to its remarkable synergy of robust mechanical properties with high electrical conductivity and ...
