The use of bioceramics as hard tissue substitutes is extensive due to their excellent
biocompatible and osteogenic behaviors. Among various bioceramics, Ca-Mg silicates are …

A few years after the theoretical prediction of magnetic MAX phases, a number of such
materials have been experimentally reported, especially in the form of thin films. Yet, due to …

Assisted-microwave heating involves the use of a susceptor to initially heat up reactants in a
microwave reaction. Once hot, the reactants themselves become directly susceptible to …
