Ultrasonic-assisted hot pressing (UAHP) has shown significant potential in enhancing both densification and mechanical ...

Purdue researchers observed how ceramics formed under an electric field surprisingly change shape rather than break when compressed at high strain. Purdue researchers discovered that some ceramics’ ...

While the method of flash sintering can reduce the temperatures and time required to process ceramics in comparison with traditional methods, the technique often ...

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 ...

Researchers have demonstrated a new technique that uses lasers to create ceramics that can withstand ultra-high temperatures, with applications ranging from nuclear power technologies to spacecraft ...

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 ...

WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Purdue researchers have observed a way that the brittle nature of ceramics can be overcome as they sustain heavy loads, leading to more resilient structures such as aircraft ...
