Ceramics often have microstructure and grain sizes that affect material performance. It is possible to optimize microstructure and grain boundaries with ceramic processing parameters for specific ...

Providing multiple functional roles simultaneously, the composition of seashells and bones gradually vary throughout their structure making them part of a group of materials called Functionally Graded ...

This graphic shows the structure of a ceramic created from a Kansas State University-patented waterlike polymer. The ceramic has a random structure that provides stability at high temperatures. The ...

The dual-phase interpenetrating architecture was came out from the microstructure of natural materials. Based on the such unique structure, bioinspired P/CCSs was designed and fabricated via 3D ...

Applications of ceramic materials, with emphasis on structure (bond, crystal, glass, defect, micro-); properties (thermal, electrical, optical, magnetic, mechanical ...

The use of ceramics dates back some 25,000 years, to the oldest human settlements’ use of clay vessels and sculptures. These ceramics, as well as infrastructure components such as bricks, tiles, and ...
