A research team led by Prof. Hu Xiaoye from the Hefei Institutes of Physical Science of the Chinese Academy of Sciences has synthesized high-quality boride ceramic powders with an Archimedean 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 ...

Ceramic-based microchemical systems (μCSs) are more suitable for operation under harsh environments such as high temperature and corrosive reactants compared to the more conventional μCS materials ...

One of the primary techniques to enhance the mechanical properties is using high-purity and ultra-fine inorganic non-metallic powder as raw materials to improve the ceramic products’ microstructure. 1 ...

For a long time, the production of ceramic coatings has only been possible by means of sintering techniques conducted at more than 1,000 degrees Celsius. However, a novel spraying method, Powder ...

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 ...

In an exciting development for the field of aerospace engineering, the lightweight materials of airplanes and rockets might soon be getting stronger. A new method for making ceramic materials — which ...

Shaping of ceramics is crucial. Current techniques cannot easily and rapidly shape ceramics without weakening their properties, especially for piezoceramics. We present an ultrafast ceramic shaping ...
