Mantis shrimp strikes again to inspire tougher composite materials Furthermore, MS 3 allows a reduction in processing temperatures by approximately 100 °C compared with other common techniques. This ...

The high processing energy needed to make a structural ceramic part means that costs can be exorbitant, even for materials with low-cost feedstocks.

Ceramic 3D printing offers complex, high-performance parts, but technical barriers are holding it back. From binder ...

In what they hail as a “new frontier in materials,” engineers at Northeastern University have developed a new type of ceramic that can be fashioned into thin and complex shapes, opening up ...

Ceramic materials, defined by their inorganic, non-metallic nature and high-temperature processing, have long underpinned a multitude of industrial and architectural applications. Their intrinsic ...

Cellular ceramics are widely used ceramic materials known for their stable performance, erosion resistance, and long service life. A research team led by Associate Professor YANG Zhengbao from the ...

The ceramic is extremely stable, because the silicon nitrogen bond is very strong. At ambient pressures, silicon nitride has a hexagonal crystal structure and sintered ceramic of this phase is opaque.

The interrelationships between processing as it controls the final microstructure and subsequent properties of ceramic materials will be explored. The laboratory includes statistical design of ...
